On the 12th of Dhul Hijjah, হাজীগণ stone all three জামারাত after Dhuhr (same as the 11th). Those who wish to leave early (ta'ajjul) may depart মিনা before sunset without needing to stone on the 13th. Before leaving মক্কা মুকাররমা, every হাজী must perform তাওয়াফ al-Wida (farewell তাওয়াফ).
Pray Fajr in মিনা and prepare 21 pebbles for stoning the three জামারাত. Continue reciting the takbirat of Tashreeq after every ওয়াজিব সালাত. Make the intention for whether you will depart today (ta'ajjul) or stay for the optional 13th day of stoning. If you intend to leave today, ensure your belongings are packed so you can depart মিনা promptly after stoning, before sunset.
After the sun passes its zenith (Dhuhr time), proceed to the জামারাত complex. Stone all three pillars in the same order as yesterday: (1) জামারাত al-Sughra (small) — 7 pebbles, then stand and make dua facing Qiblah; (2) জামারাত al-Wusta (medium) — 7 pebbles, then stand and make dua facing Qiblah; (3) জামারাত al-Aqabah (large) — 7 pebbles, then depart without stopping for dua. Say 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each pebble thrown.
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Hajj.

After stoning, you have a choice sanctioned by আল-কুরআন (Al-Baqarah 2:203). Option A (Ta'ajjul / Hastening): Leave মিনা before sunset on the 12th. You will NOT need to stone on the 13th. Head directly to মক্কা মুকাররমা for তাওয়াফ al-Wida. Option B (Staying): Remain in মিনা for the night of the 13th and stone all three জামারাত one final time the next day. Staying is considered more virtuous by many scholars, as নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) stayed for the 13th.
Before leaving মক্কা মুকাররমা, every হাজী must perform তাওয়াফ al-Wida (the farewell তাওয়াফ). This is 7 circuits around the কাবা শরীফ, performed in the same manner as any তাওয়াফ — beginning from the হাজরে আসওয়াদ corner, keeping the কাবা শরীফ on your left. There is no Raml (jogging) or Idtiba' (baring the right shoulder) in তাওয়াফ al-Wida. There is no সাঈ after this তাওয়াফ. After completing the circuits, pray 2 rak'at behind Maqam Ibrahim if possible, drink Zamzam water, and make your final duas.
After completing তাওয়াফ al-Wida and praying behind Maqam Ibrahim, take a final look at the কাবা শরীফ and make your most heartfelt duas. Ask Allah to accept your হজ্জ, forgive your sins, and grant you the opportunity to return. Depart the Masjid walking backward or looking back at the কাবা শরীফ as long as you can see it, as was the practice of some of the Salaf. Leave মক্কা মুকাররমা with a heart full of gratitude, resolved to maintain the spiritual transformation of হজ্জ in your daily life.
While not a rite of হজ্জ, visiting নবী করীম's Mosque (Al-Masjid al-Nabawi) in মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা is highly মুস্তাহাব. Many হাজীগণ visit before or after হজ্জ. Pray in নবী করীম's Mosque, visit the Rawdah, send salutations upon নবী করীম (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) at his grave, and visit the graveyard of Baqi'. The visit to মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা is a separate act of worship and has no connection to the validity of হজ্জ.
