Pilgrims in a Hurry Begin Throwing Stones

Today, on the second day of Tashreeq, pilgrims at the Sacred House of Allah threw the three stones with ease and comfort, surrounded by the care and protection of Allah. They started with the small stone, then the middle stone, and finally the large stone. After that, the hurried pilgrims headed to the Sacred House of Allah to perform the Farewell Tawaf, following the divine statement: “And remember Allah during the numbered days. So, whoever hastens (his departure) in two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays (for two days), there is no sin upon him for the one who fears (Allah). And fear Allah and know that you will be gathered unto Him.”

The movement of the pilgrims towards the Jamrat Bridge was characterized by ease in their paths, whether going to throw stones or returning to their places of residence in Mina, or heading to Mecca to perform the Farewell Tawaf for those in a hurry. The relevant authorities designated multiple pathways to distribute the crowds across the various levels of the Jamrat facility amid Mina, to ensure the smooth movement of pilgrims, thanks to Allah, and to the readiness of the multiple levels of the Jamrat project, which was constructed in an engineering manner that considers the distribution of crowd density during the stone throwing and connects it with pedestrian bridges, alongside the Mashair train and the surrounding areas of the pilgrims' camps in Mina.
