Don’t throw pebbles before
midday on the days that follow the ‘Eed day, since the
Prophet did not throw pebbles except after midday. You will have
extension until the sundown. If there are dense crowds, you may
delay throwing pebbles until the night, since the Prophet
defined the beginning of the time of throwing the pebbles
without mentioning an end to it. The Prophet permitted the weak
to rush from Muzdalifah before the dawn to protect them
from the dangers of crowds. You should throw the pebbles in
person without authorizing anybody to do this on your behalf; as
throwing the pebbles is an obligatory ordinance on men and
women. Thus, each pilgrim should make it on behalf of himself,
except if harm is incurred on doing it, such as the cases of
sickness, old age or pregnancy. In such cases proxy may be
applied in the process of throwing pebbles. The authorized
person should throw the three Jamrahs, first on behalf of
himself then on behalf of the person who authorized him.
On throwing the pebbles on the
twelfth day, you Hajj completes; it will be permissible
to leave Mina before sunset or to spend the night in
Mina on the thirteenth night and throw the pebbles on the
next day after midday, which is better. This is according to the
conduct of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
You should make the farewell
Tawaaf when you intend to return home after the completion
of Hajj rituals. It will be wrong to throw Jamarat
following farewell Tawaaf as it contradicts the conduct
of the Prophet (peace be upon him), as he commanded that the
last thing to be done before departing is to circumambulate the
House. The farewell Tawaaf is an obligatory practice on
every pilgrim who departs Makkah after performing
Hajj or ‘Umrah, except the menstruating women or
those who have puerperal blood, who will not be requested to
make farewell Tawaaf.
On returning home you should
give thanks to your Lord, return to Him in repentance, stick to
obeying Him and avoid committing sins, after they have been
remitted from you.
Allah the Almighty said what
means: “For Hajj are the
months well-known. If any one undertakes that duty therein, let
there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the Hajj
and whatever good ye do, (be sure) Allah knoweth it. And take a
provision (with you) for the journey, but
the best of provisions is right conduct. So fear Me, O ye that
are wise!” (Al-Baqarah: 197).
