1.The pilgrim should
go directly to the largest jamrat ( jamrat al-Aqabah) upon reaching Mina.
2. After sunrise he
should throw seven pebbles at this jamrat saying, "Allahu Akbar" each
time he throws a pebble. He should stop reciting the talbiyah at the
commencement of stoning.
3. The pilgrim should
then slaughter the sacrificial animal either in Mina or in Makkah.
4. Afterwards he
should get his head shaved or hair cut short. Shaving is preferable for
men.
5. He should then
remove the ihram garments. With the exception of marital relations, all other
restrictions of the state of ihram are then lifted.
6. The pilgrim should
go to Makkah and perform tawaf al-ifadhah [without observing ramal or idhtiba] and offer two rak'ahs after tawaf. This tawaf is an essential part of Hajj.
Without it ones hajj is incomplete. It may be delayed, however, out of
necessity. Following tawaf and two rak'ahs of prayer one should drink Zamzam
water and pour it on his head.
7. Since the pilgrim
is performing the hajj at-tamattu' form of hajj he should perform Sa'i between
as- Safa and al-Marwah after the tawaf.
8. At that point all
of the restrictions of the state of a ihram cease .
9. One should then
return to Mina and spend the night there.
