3052. It was narrated that the
Mother of the Believers 'Aishah said: "I wished that I had asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ for permission as Sawdah did, so that I could pray Fajr in Mina before the people came. Sawdah was a heavyset woman, so she asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ for permission, and he gave her permission to pray Fajr in Mina and stone the Jamrat before the people came." (Sahih)

Commentary
Every excused person is entitled to this permission. 'Aishah ﷺ considered it appropriate that she should continue to perform Hajj throughout her life emulating the excellent example of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, even if she encountered hardships and difficulties in doing so.
