Print FriendlyThe 5 Days of Hajj
Sequence of Rituals (8th - 12th Dhul Hijjah)
Tarwiyah (The Day of Quenching)
Enter Ihram (if not already in it). Leave Makkah in the morning. Pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr (of the next day) in Mina.
Arafat (The Core of Hajj)
Leave Mina after Fajr. Reach Arafat. From Dhuhr until sunset, stand in earnest Dua. If you miss this, you miss Hajj. After sunset, leave for Muzdalifah without praying Maghrib.
Yawm An-Nahr (The Day of Sacrifice)
Pray Fajr in Muzdalifah, collect pebbles. Head to Mina to stone the large pillar (Jamarat Al-Aqabah). Sacrifice animal (Hady). Shave/Trim hair (Halq/Taqsir) to partially exit Ihram. Go to Makkah for Tawaf Al-Ifadah & Sa'i to fully exit Ihram.
1st Day of Tashreeq
You must sleep in Mina. After Dhuhr prayer (Zawal), walk to the Jamarat and stone all three pillars with 7 pebbles each (Small, Middle, Large). Make Dua after the first two.
2nd Day of Tashreeq
Stone all three pillars again after Dhuhr. You may now leave Mina before sunset (Ta'ajul) or choose to stay a 6th day (13th Dhul Hijjah) to stone again. Before finally leaving Makkah, perform the Farewell Tawaf (Tawaf Al-Wida).
