Mina: At dawn on the 10th day of Dhu Al-Hijjah, pilgrims journey from Muzdalifah to Mina to engage in the stoning of Jamarat Al-Aqaba. This involves throwing seven consecutive pebbles while reciting 'Allahu Akbar' with each throw.
According to Saudi Press Agency, following the stoning ritual, pilgrims perform the sacrificial offering (hady), if it is required. They may consume part of the offering and distribute a portion to the poor. Afterward, male pilgrims shave or trim their hair, with shaving being the preferable option, while female pilgrims trim a fingertip-length portion of their hair. Although there is a preferred sequence for these rituals, there is no issue in altering the order.
Muslims around the globe, especially those in Mina, mark Eid Al-Adha with offerings of sacrifice as an act of worship to Allah Almighty. On this day, pilgrims partake in the stoning ritual to honor the remembrance of Allah. Once the stoning of Jamarat Al-Aqaba is complete and hair is shaved or trimmed, pilgrims enter the first stage of release from ihram, enabling them to wear normal attire and resume all activities except marital relations.
Pilgrims then proceed to the Grand Mosque, reciting tahlil and takbir, to perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah, a crucial pillar of Hajj, without which the pilgrimage remains incomplete. Pilgrims performing Tamattu' Hajj must perform Sa'i afterward. Those on Qiran or Ifrad Hajj must also perform Sa'i if not already completed after Tawaf Al-Qudum.
It is permissible to delay Tawaf Al-Ifadah until after the Days of Tashreeq and combine it with Tawaf Al-Wada' in a single tawaf, allowing pilgrims to return to Makkah post-stoning rituals. Following Tawaf Al-Ifadah on the Day of Sacrifice, pilgrims shed all restrictions of ihram and return to Mina to observe the Days of Tashreeq.
