What do we do on the tenth day?

The Shaykh : Then, stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah is the first thing a person does upon arriving at Mina. For this reason, some scholars said that stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah is the greeting of Mina, just as the two rak'ahs are the greeting of the mosque. This is indicated by the fact that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the day of 'Id while riding his camel, before he went to his tent, meaning he did not dismount at his tent. He walked straight ahead, taking the middle path that leads out to the Jamarat al-Aqabah, and then he stoned it while on his camel. This indicates that it is better for whoever arrives at Mina, whether after the sun has risen or at the end of the night, to hasten to stone it. And so it is. Let us look at what is done on the day of 'Id, which is the day with the most acts of worship. The day of 'Id is the day with the most acts of worship, which is why it is called the greatest day of Hajj. When the pilgrim arrives at Mina, what does he start with? He starts with what? With stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, with seven pebbles in succession, saying Allahu Akbar with each pebble, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, until he completes seven pebbles. It is not a condition that the pebble hits the pole, the standing pillar; it is not a condition, because this pillar was made only as a marker for the place. The condition that is necessary is that the pebble falls in the basin, in the target area; that is the condition. As for hitting the standing pillar, that is not a condition. After stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, we slaughter the sacrificial animal, and after slaughtering the sacrificial animal, we shave, then we exit the state of ihram, and we apply perfume, and we descend to Makkah for the Tawaf al-Ifadah and the Sa'y. The Tawaf here is the Tawaf of Hajj, because the Tawaf of 'Umrah has already been performed, and the Sa'y is the Sa'y of Hajj, because the Sa'y of 'Umrah has already been performed. Then we return to Mina and stay there. At that point, we find that the pilgrim performs five acts of worship on the day of 'Id: the first is stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah, the second is the slaughter, the third is shaving or cutting the hair short, the fourth is the Tawaf, and the fifth is the Sa'y. It is better to arrange them in this order. If you bring some of them forward, there is no blame on you. The matter is broad, even if you bring the Sa'y forward before the Tawaf, that is permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about stoning and bringing things forward or delaying them, and he was not asked about anything at that time to bring forward or delay except that he said: , do it and there is no blame. This is from the expansion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) upon the servants, that He made each person do what is easy for him, so that people do not gather on one thing and become cramped. For this reason, you find people on the day of 'Id dispersed: this one is stoning, this one is slaughtering, this one is doing Tawaf, and this one is doing Sa'y, so that the space is sufficient for the actions. So, returning to the day of 'Id, what does the pilgrim do on the day of 'Id? He moves from Muzdalifah to Mina and stones the Jamarat al-Aqabah, then the slaughter, then shaving or cutting the hair short, then the Tawaf or the Sa'y, then the Tawaf and the Sa'y, then the Tawaf and the Sa'y. It is better that they be arranged in this order, and if you bring some of them forward, there is no blame.
