1st day of Eid - 10th Dhul Hijjah
Following are the steps or rituals to be followed on the third day of Hajj.
In Muzdalifah, offer Fajr Prayer at its time.
Continue with Takbeer, Tasbeeh, Talbiyah and engage yourself in duas.
Remain in Muzdalifah till sunrise.
After sunrise, depart for Mina. Keep reciting Talbiyah.
After reaching Mina, go to Jamarah Al-Aqabah which is the last and biggest pillar of the three stoning
sites.
Stop reciting Talbiyah before throwing the first stone.
Now do Rami by throwing seven stones at Jamarah Al-Aqabah, reciting 'Allah u Akbar' with every throw.
Allahu Akbar
On this day, only this Jamarah will be pelted/stoned.
After the Rami, you will now proceed to sacrifice animal. (Slaughter your sacrifice either personally
or through the appointment of someone who will do it on your behalf). This is not mandatory for pilgrims
performing Hajj-e-Ifraad. When sacrificing an animal, recite the following dua:
Bismillaahi wallaahu 'Akbar [Allaahumma minka wa laka] Allaahumma taqabbal minnee
With the Name of Allah, Allah is the Most Great! [O Allah, from You and to You.] O Allah, accept it from me.
Sahih Bukhari: 5565
After sacrifice of animal, shave your head or trim some hair. Shaving, however, is preferable. Women
will cut only a bit of their hair.
After shaving or trimming of the hair, you are partly come out from the state of Ihraam. Now you can
put on usual dress. However, intimacy between spouses is not allowed.
Now go to Masjid Al-Haram in Makkah to perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah of Kaaba (Tawaf will be performed as
usual i-e 7 circles of Kaaba). Prophet (S.A.W.) also prayed Dhuhr prayer in Makkah/Kaaba.
After Tawaf, offer two Rakats of Tawaf (Wajib) behind the Maqam-e-Ibrahim or wherever in Masjid
Al-Haram.
Now perform usual Sa’yee of Safa and Marwa.
After performing Sa’yee, drink plenty of Zam-Zam water.
Now go back to Mina and spent the night in Mina. Don’t stay in Makkah overnight.
Third day of Hajj is complete.
