On Sunday, the first day of Tashreeq, pilgrims performed stoning rituals at Jamarat in Mina. After exiting ihram the previous day, they threw pebbles at all three Jamarat, or Satan-representing pillars.

They stoned seven times each at Jamarat Al-Sugra (small pillar), Jamarat Al-Wusta (medium pillar), and Jamarat Al-Aqba (largest pillar) after arriving at the Jamarat, chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is the Greatest). As they hurled pebbles at the pillars, the pilgrims moved easily and comfortably. Following the Prophet's (peace be upon him) tradition, they prayed after stoning the first two pillars and quit quickly after stoning the third.

There are multiple paths on each of the five levels of the Jamarat Bridge Complex to ensure smooth pilgrim movement. During the Jamarat facility, Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, emir of Makkah, advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, and Prince Abdulaziz Bin Saud Bin Naif, minister of interior and chairman of the Supreme Hajj Committee, followed pilgrims in groups smoothly.

Approximately 900,000 foreign and domestic pilgrims arrived at the Jamarat Complex this afternoon according to schedule. On Saturday, only Jamarat Al-Aqba was stoned. In and around the Jamarat Complex, security forces, health workers, and volunteers are on hand to ensure the pilgrims' safety and health, as well as their smooth movement and stoning ritual performance.

The stoning at Jamarat is one of the most repeated rituals of the Hajj. On Dhul Hijjah 10, pilgrims perform the ritual at one Jamarat (Jamarat Al-Aqba) on the first day of stoning. Over the next two or three days, they hurl seven stones each at the three pillars.

To prevent congestion, pilgrims are only permitted to move in one direction throughout the Jamarat Complex structure around the three stoning sites. The Jamarat Complex is well prepared to receive more than 300,000 pilgrims per hour. The Jamarat Bridge has a length of 950 meters and can accommodate 120,000 pilgrims per hour on each floor. Approximately 226 environmentally friendly electric vehicles transport and serve pilgrims on the Jamarat Bridge.

After the stoning ritual on Sunday, the pilgrims will spend the rest of the day praying and supplication in their tents, and most will leave Mina on Monday afternoon. The annual pilgrimage will officially end on the third day of Tashreeq on Tuesday, Dhul Hijjah 13, after the pilgrims have performed the stoning ritual on Monday.
