Throwing the Jamarat during the Days of Tashriq

Q 2: Some pilgrims were convinced that they have to throw their pebbles before noon starting midnight of the day before, that is, they start throwing pebbles from 11 P.M. For the first day of the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) and start throwing after 1:30 A.M. For the second day of the Days of Tashriq, thinking that they are applying what Allah (Exalted be He) says: But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him (Part No. 10; Page No. 313) then they used to perform Tawaf-ul-Wada` (circumambulation of the Ka`bah on leaving Makkah) and leave Makkah before Zawal (midday) of the second day of Days of Tashriq, their pretext is that their will be great crowds after noon.


A 2: It is not valid to throw the Jamarat (stone pillars marking the pebble-throwing area, Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah being the closest to Makkah) during the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) except after noon, this time is extended until sunset, there is no harm in throwing at night for the previous elapsed day, but it is not permissible to throw the pebbles on the next day before noon of that day. The meaning of what Allah (Exalted be He) says: But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him is that it is permissible for those who threw the pebbles after Zawal (midday) of the 12th to leave from Mina to Makkah or any other place outside Mina before sunset, and they are not required to spend the night of the 13th nor throw the pebbles on the 13th. As for Tawaf-ul-Wada`, it is not valid unless it was done at the time of leaving after completing the rituals of Hajj. Tawaf-ul-Wada` of those who travel on the 11th day is not valid because they should spend the night at Mina on the night of the 12th and throw in the afternoon of the 12th day.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
