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).
