Going to Mina and throwing pebbles (throwing pebbles at Jamarat al-Aqaba)

A person who performs Hajj must go from Mashar al-Haram on the day of Eid to a place called Mina, and one of his actions there is throwing pebbles at Jamarat al-Aqaba, meaning he must throw seven pebbles at the last Jamarat.

 

Issue: The pebbles must be medium-sized, not like fine sand or large stones, and they must also be made of stone, meaning that clay, pottery, and jewelry are not valid, but any type of stone, even marble, is fine.

 

Issue: The pebbles must be from the Haram (the Haram is a specific area of ​​the city of Mecca and its surroundings). Of course, they should not be from Masjid al-Haram or Masjid al-Khayf, but as a precaution, they should be from other mosques, and it is recommended to take them from Mashar, and they must be virgin, meaning that no one else has thrown them in the past years.

 

Issue: It is obligatory to throw pebbles with the intention of approaching the Jamarat, not to place them on the Jamarat; and it is obligatory to throw seven pebbles with certainty, and if he doubts whether he has thrown seven pebbles or not, he should throw until he is certain that he has thrown seven pebbles.

 

Issue: Purity is not a condition in throwing the Jamarat, therefore a person who is junub, menstruating, or whose body or clothes are impure can throw them, and it is correct. Even if the pebbles themselves are impure, there is no problem, but they must be permissible, meaning that he should not take possession of pebbles that others have taken without their permission.

 

Issue: The time for throwing pebbles is from sunrise on the day of Eid until sunset, and if he forgets, he can do it until the thirteenth day. If he does not remember until the thirteenth, the precaution is that he throws them himself or his deputy the following year.

 

Issue: A child or a sick person who is unable to perform the ritual ablution should have someone else perform it on their behalf. Those who are unable to perform the ritual ablution and have an excuse not to perform the ritual ablution during the day can perform it at night, whenever it is nighttime.
