10 Dhul-Hijjah — Yawm an-Nahr

Mina: Stoning, Sacrifice, Halq, Tawaf

Return to Mina at dawn. Throw seven pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah (saying 'Allahu Akbar' with each). Offer the sacrifice (hady). Shave (men) or shorten (women) the hair. Then travel to Makkah for Tawaf al-Ifadah and Sa'i (for Tamattu'). After tawaf, all ihram restrictions are lifted.

What to do

  • Stop reciting the Talbiyah upon throwing the first pebble.
  • Throw seven pebbles at Jamrat al-'Aqabah only on this day.
  • Order: stone → slaughter → shave/shorten → tawaf. The order may be changed without penalty.
  • Men shave (preferred) or shorten hair from all over the head; women cut a fingertip's length from each braid.

With each pebble thrown

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Allahu Akbar

Allah is the Greatest.

At slaughter

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي

Bismillahi wa-llahu Akbar. Allahumma taqabbal minni

In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. O Allah, accept this from me.
