He then proceeds to Mecca, and—intending the obligatory act—the qārin and the mufrid perform the circumambulation of visitation (ṭawāf al-ziyārah). Its earliest time is after midnight of the Day of Sacrifice; it is recommended to do it that same day, though postponing it is permissible. After that he walks between Ṣafā and Marwah if he is performing tamattuʿ—or any other form of ḥajj but did not make the saʿy with the arrival circumambulation. At that point everything becomes lawful for him without exception. He then drinks from the water⦗1⦘ of Zamzam as much as he wishes, drinks his fill, and recites the reported supplications.

Next he returns and spends three nights in Minā. Each day he throws seven pebbles at the first Jamrah, the one adjacent to Masjid al-Khayf, keeping it on his left, then steps back a little⦗2⦘ and makes a lengthy supplication; he does the same at the middle Jamrah, and then throws at Jamrat al-ʿAqabah, keeping it on his right, standing in the valley, and he does not pause there. He carries this out on every one of the Days of Tashrīq after the sun has passed its zenith, facing the qiblah and maintaining the prescribed order. Should he cast all the pebbles on the third day, it is valid provided he maintains their sequence in his intention⦗3⦘. If he delays them beyond that time, or fails to spend the night there, he must offer a compensatory animal.

Whoever hastens and departs after two days must leave before sunset; otherwise, he is obliged to remain for the night.
