1st Day of Tashreeq

The 1st Day of Tashreeq in Hajj falls on the 11th of Dhul-Hijjah. It is one of the three days following Eid al-Adha when pilgrims continue their rituals in Mina. These days are dedicated to stone-throwing (Ramy al-Jamarat), remembrance of Allah (Dhikr), and continued prayers.

On this day, after Zuhr prayer, pilgrims proceed to the Jamarat Bridge to perform Ramy al-Jamarat, which involves throwing seven pebbles at each of the three Jamarat (stone pillars) in the following order:

  1. Jamarat al-Sughra (the small pillar)

  2. Jamarat al-Wusta (the middle pillar)

  3. Jamarat al-Kubra (the large pillar, also known as Jamarat al-Aqaba)

After stoning each pillar, pilgrims step aside and make supplications facing the Qibla before moving on to the next Jamarat.

Once the stoning is completed, pilgrims spend the night in Mina, engaging in acts of worship, reciting the Takbir (“Allahu Akbar”), Tahmid (“Alhamdulillah”), and Tasbeeh (“SubhanAllah”), and reflecting on the significance of Hajj.

The Tashreeq days are a time of gratitude and patience, reminding pilgrims of their commitment to Allah. Those who wish to leave early may do so on the 12th of Dhul-Hijjah after completing the rituals, while others may stay until the 13th to complete an additional day of worship.
