Ayaam at-Tashreeq

On the completion of Tawaaf al-Ifaadah and its accompanying rites, the pilgrim should return to Minaa and spend the following three days and nights there (the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah). On each of the days, the pilgrim should collect twenty-one (21) stones and perform the rites of Ramy at the three Jamrahs after Dhuhr. As mentioned before, it is allowable for stoning to be done for the old, weak, sick, young or female, as long as the pilgrim stones for himself first. The pilgrim should begin with the smallest Jamrah known as al-Oolaa, which is nearest to Masjid al-Khayf. Seven stones should be thrown at it, one at a time, and the pilgrim should then move to the right of it and raise his or her hands in humble Du'aa (prayer). Then the pilgrim should go on to the next Jamrah known as al-Wustaa, perform the rites of Ramy and move to the left of it and make Du'aa. Finally the last Jamrah known as al-'Aqabah should be approached and the rites of Ramy performed without pausing for Du'aa. The rites of Ramy should be performed again on the second day as on the first day by all pilgrims and the nights should be passed in Minaa. However, on the third day, the pilgrim who wishes to leave Minaa and end his or her Hajj with its final rites may do so. Although the completion of the three days and nights is better. Allah explained this option in the Our'aan as follows Remember Allah (often) in the set days of (Hajj). Then whoever hastens (his departure) by two days has no sin on him and whoever delays also no sin on him; for whoever fears Allah. (2:203)

The pilgrim who intended Hajj Tamattu' but was unable to slaughter an animal, has to fast three days during the Hajj and seven days on his or her return to their homes. The days of fasting have to precede the day of 'Arafat (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) and the day of Eid (10th because the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) forbade fasting on those two days which are the greatest days of Hajj in which the pilgrim needs all of his or her strength for prayer, travel and the many other rites or, they may be done during the days of Tashreeq. Both 'Aa'eshah and Ibn 'Umar reported that fasting was not allowed during the days of Tashreeq except for those who did not find a sacrificial animal.
