This day is known as ‘Eed Al-Adha. The pilgrim performs Fajr (dawn) prayer in Muzdalifah, then leaves Muzdalifah for Mina shortly before sunrise. In Mina, he should collect seven small pebbles and heads to the largest Jamarah. As he throws each stone at Jamarah, he should say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is The Greatest). On completion of the rites of stoning, he should clip or shave his head and take off his Ihraam.

The pilgrim should then go to the place where animals are kept and slaughter an animal. If he is making Hajj Al-Qiraan or Hajj At-Tamattu’. After that, he goes to Makkah and makes Tawaaf Al-Ifaadhah (seven circuits around the Ka’bah), then he returns to Mina and spends the rest of the night there.
