Then, after sunset, he proceeds to Muzdalifah with composure, quickening his pace only in the open stretch. There he combines the sunset and night prayers at the time of the latter, spends the night, and is permitted to depart after midnight—leaving earlier requires a compensatory sacrifice.

When he has prayed dawn he goes to the Sacred Monument, climbing it or standing beside it, praising Allah, proclaiming His greatness, and reciting: “So when you stream down from ʿArafat…”—the two verses (1). He continues in supplication until full daylight.

He then moves on; when he reaches Muhassir he hastens for a distance equal to a stone’s throw, and collects seventy pebbles for the jamarāt, each between the size of a chick-pea and a hazelnut.

Upon arriving at Mina he stones Jamrat al-ʿAqabah from the bottom of the valley with seven pebbles, one after another (2), raising his hand (3) until the whiteness of his underarm (4) is visible. With each pebble he says “Allāhu akbar,” adding: “O Allah, make it an accepted Hajj, a forgiven sin, and a deed that earns thanks.” He does not pause there, and he ends the talbiyah at this point. Stoning after sunrise is recommended, though it is valid after midnight. Stoning with anything other than pebbles is invalid, as is re-using pebbles that have already been thrown (5).

He then slaughters any sacrificial animal he has brought, and either shaves or shortens all the hair of his head, while a woman clips a fingertip’s length or less. Thereafter everything is lawful for him except intercourse, and no sacrifice is due for delaying the shave or for performing it before the stoning or the sacrifice.
