At Safa and Marwah
إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ
Inna al-Safa wa al-Marwata min sha'a'ir Allah
Indeed, Safa and Marwah are among the symbols of Allah.
Qur'an 2:158 — recited when approaching Safa
Day 1 — 8 Dhul Hijjah (Yawm al-Tarwiyah)
Enter Ihram, make the intention for Hajj and begin the Talbiyah. Travel to Mina and pray Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr there, shortening the four-rak'ah prayers.
Day 2 — 9 Dhul Hijjah (Arafah)
After sunrise move to Arafah. Pray Zuhr and Asr combined and shortened, then stand in dua until sunset. Leave for Muzdalifah after sunset without praying Maghrib until you arrive.
At Muzdalifah pray Maghrib and Isha together, rest, and collect pebbles for the stoning.
Day 3 — 10 Dhul Hijjah (Eid al-Adha)
Stone Jamrat al-Aqabah with seven pebbles, offer the sacrifice, shave or shorten the hair, then perform Tawaf al-Ifadah and Sa'i.
Days 4 and 5 — the days of Tashriq
Stay in Mina and stone all three Jamarat each afternoon in order, making dua after the first and second.
Conclude the Hajj with Tawaf al-Wada, the farewell circling of the Ka'bah, before leaving Makkah.
