Hajj pilgrims perform stoning of Jamarat on first day of Tashreeq
On Saturday, pilgrims at the Grand Mosque in Makkah carried out the symbolic stoning of the three Jamarat on the first day of Tashreeq, following the previous day's ritual of casting stones at the largest Jamarah, Jamrat al-Aqaba. Many pilgrims also completed hair shaving or trimming, performed the Tawaf al-Ifadah (circumambulation of the Kaaba), and sacrificed animals as part of the required rituals. Friday, the first day of Eid al-Adha, saw pilgrims completing Tawaf al-Ifadah after standing at Arafat, spending the night at Muzdalifah, and casting stones at Jamrat al-Aqaba in Mina. The rituals were carried out in an atmosphere described as calm and well-organized. The Saudi Ministry of Interior urged pilgrims to follow designated routes when traveling to and from the Jamarat, Tawaf, and Sa'i areas. They advised against carrying luggage to the Jamarat and the Grand Mosque and emphasized adherence to crowd control schedules. The ministry also called for calm and orderly movement during the days of Tashreeq. Pilgrims began arriving at Mina early Friday morning, chanting as they prepared to complete the stoning ritual by throwing seven pebbles at the largest Jamarah. Following this, many proceeded to shave or trim their hair to complete the first stage of exiting Ihram.
