The pilgrims of the House of Allah have commenced the ritual of stoning the three jamarats: the small, the middle, and the large, at the Muzdalifah site "Mina," on the second day of Eid al-Adha (11th Dhul-Hijjah), coinciding with the first of the three days of Tashreeq.

The Saudi Press Agency "SPA" reported that "the pilgrims of the House of Allah began the first day of the three days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and 13th Dhul-Hijjah) at the plains of Mina."
 
It added: "The guests of the Merciful will stone the three jamarats on this day, starting with the small jamrah, then the middle, then the large Aqabah, after they stoned only the large one yesterday (Saturday)."

The pilgrims head to the Mina site to throw 21 pebbles, distributed as 7 stones starting with the small, then the middle, then the large Aqabah, and they say Takbeer with each one, and supplicate as they wish after the small and middle jamarats while facing the Qiblah.
 
The time for stoning the jamarats begins on the Day of Sacrifice (Saturday), and the three days of Tashreeq (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) from when the sun passes its zenith, which is the time for Dhuhr prayer to begin, and ends at sunset, although fatwas have permitted stoning before the zenith.
 
If the pilgrim stones the jamarats on Sunday (the first day of Tashreeq) and Monday (the second day of Tashreeq), Allah allows him to depart Mina if he is in a hurry, which is called the first departure (Nafrah), and thus he is exempted from staying overnight and stoning on the last day (the third day of Tashreeq), provided he leaves Mina before sunset; otherwise, he must remain for the third day.

On the third day of Tashreeq, which corresponds to Tuesday, the pilgrim also stones the three jamarats as he did on the previous two days, then leaves Mina to Mecca, and performs the farewell Tawaf around the ancient House to mark his last covenant with the House.
 
The days of Tashreeq are the three days following the first day of Eid al-Adha, spent by the pilgrims at the site of Mina, also known as the "counted days."
