the journey’
Abu Hurairah r.a reports that he heard the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said:
• ‘Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah and therein utters no
word of evil nor commit any evil deed shall return from it as free from
sin as the day on which his mother gave birth to him’
- Bukhari and Muslim
• "A mabroor Hajj - complete and accepted - has no reward for it
but Jannah”
- Bukhari and Muslim

there is only pelting and Salah to be done. However, one should excessively
engage in dhikr, Qur’an recitation etc. maximising their benefit from Hajj.

• Go to middle shaytaan and pelt 7 times, then make dua on side

55. • If you do not intend to spend the 13th in Mina, then you need to
leave before sunset on the 12th after pelting. If you don’t then have
to stay for the 13th day pelting.
• Most stampedes occur on the 12th as everyone is in a rush to
complete the pelting immediately after Zawaal and leave for Makkah.
It is recommended to avoid this rush hour and go nearer to Asr time.
• Do not carry all your luggage with you on the 12th to the Jamaraat
area as this causes chaos and tragedies. Come back to collect it or
