*Going to Muzdalifah (After Sunset)*:

He should stay overnight in Muzdalifah. Also while in Muzdalifah Collect some pebbles for further stoning in the coming days. The size of pebbles should be approximately slightly larger than a pea. It's recommended to collect arround 70 such pebbles!.

Then when dawn comes he should pray Fajr early, with the adhaan and iqaamah, and then head for al-Mashar al-Haraam (which is the site of the mosque in Muzdalifah) and proclaim the oneness and greatness of Allaah (by saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah and Allaahu akbar), and making duaa as he likes, until it has become very light (i.e., when the light of day appears before the sun has actually risen). If it is not easy for him to go to al-Mashar al-Haraam, he should make duaa where he is, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood there and all of Muzdalifah is the place of standing. When he is reciting dhikr and making duaa he should face the qiblah and raise his hands.

*Going to Mina*:
When it has become very light, before the sun rises, he should go to Mina and hasten through Wadi Mahsar (which is a valley between Muzdalifah and Mina). When he reaches Mina he should stone Jamarat al-Aqabah, which is the last one that is closest to Makkah, throwing seven pebbles one after another, each of which should be approximately the size of a fava bean, saying Allaahu akbar with each throw. (The Sunnah when stoning Jamarat al-Aqabah is to face the Jamarah with Makkah to one's left and Mina to one ones right).

This being an accident prone area due to heavy crowding it is preferable to go, especially for the weak, during off-peak hours which is at night or a little before sunset.

When he has finished this stoning, he should slaughter his sacrificial animal, then shave his head or cut his hair if he is male; women should cut the length of a fingertip from their hair. This is the first stage of exiting ihraam, in which it becomes permissible to do everything except have intercourse with one's wife.

Then the pilgrim should go back to Makkah and do tawaaf (Tawaaf al-Ifadha - Essential Pillar of Hajj)and saai for Hajj. Then comes the second stage of exiting ihraam, after which everything becomes permissible which was forbidden whilst in ihraam.

The Sunnah is to put on perfume when one wants to go to Makkah to do tawaaf after stoning the jamarat and shaving ones head, because Aaishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: I used to apply perfume to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) before he entered ihraam and when he exited ihraam, before he circumambulated the House. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1539; Muslim, 1189.
Then after tawaaf and saai, he should go back to Mina and stay there.

After coming back to Mina, the pilgrim should stay there for two nights, the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, and stone the three jamarats during those two days, when the sun has passed its zenith. It is better for him to go to the jamarats walking, but if he rides that is acceptable. He should stone the first jamarah, which is the one that is furthest away from Makkah and next to Masjid al-Kheef, with seven pebbles, one after another, and say Allaahu akbar after each throw. Then he should go forward a little and say a lengthy duaa, saying whatever he likes.

If it is too difficult for him to stand for a long time and make duaa, he should say whatever is easy for him, even if it is only a little, so that he will have done the Sunnah.

Then he should stone the middle jamarah with seven pebbles, one after another, saying Allaahu akbar with every throw. Then he should move to his left and stand facing the qiblah, raising his hands, and offer a lengthy duaa if he can. Otherwise he should stand for as long as he can. He should not omit to stand and make duaa because it is Sunnah.

Many people neglect that because of ignorance or because they take the matter lightly. The more the Sunnah is neglected the more important it becomes to do it and spread it among the people, lest it be abandoned and die out.

Then he should stone Jamarat al-Aqabah with seven pebbles, one after another, saying Allaahu akbar with each throw, then he should go away and not offer a duaa after that.

When he has completed the stoning of the Jamaraat on the 12th day of Dhul-Hijjah, if he wants he may hasten and leave Mina, and if he wants he may delay his departure and stay there for another night, the night of the 13th, and stone the three Jamaraat after noon as he did before. This is in accordance with the words of Allah(Swt), the exalted:

And remember Allh during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to do good and obey Allh (fear Him), and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him. [Qur'an: 2:203].

It is better to delay, but it is not obligatory unless the sun has set on the 12th and he is still in Mina, in which case it is obligatory to stay until one has stoned the three Jamaraat after noon on the following day. But if the sun sets on the 12th and he is still in Mina but not by choice, such as if he had already started out and boarded his means of transportation, but got delayed because of crowded conditions and traffic jams etc., then he is not obliged to stay there, because the delay until sunset was not by his choice.

*The Farewell Tawaaf (tawaaf al-wadaa)*

When the pilgrim wants to leave Makkah and go back to his country, he should not leave until he has performed the farewell tawaaf (tawaaf al-wadaa), because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: No one should leave until the last thing that he does is (tawaaf) around the House. Narrated by Muslim, 1327). According to another version, he told the people that the last thing they should do was (tawaaf) around the house, but he made an exception for women who were menstruating. Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1755; Muslim, 1328.
___*PAGE 13*___.
✍🏻...                         

Women who are menstruating or bleeding following childbirth do not have to do the farewell tawaaf; neither should they stand by the door of al-Masjid al-Haraam to bid farewell, because that was not narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

The last thing the pilgrim should do when he wants to leave is to circumambulate the House.

✍🏻...                                    

If after the farewell tawaaf he stays and waits for his companions or to load his luggage or to buy something he needs on the way, there is nothing wrong with that, and he does not have to repeat the tawaaf, unless he intends to delay his journey, such as if he intended to travel at the beginning of the day and he did the farewell tawaaf, then he delays his travelling until the end of the day, for example; in this case he has to repeat the tawaaf so that it will be the last thing he does in Makkah.
