Ayyam al-Tashreeq(أَيَّام التَّشْرِيق) Ayyam al-Tashreeq (Days of Tashreeq) are the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah, during which pilgrims remain in Mina performing the daily stoning of all three Jamarat pillars.
أَيَّام التَّشْرِيق
The Days of Tashreeq are referenced in the Quran: 'And remember Allah during the appointed days' (2:203). During these days, pilgrims stay in Mina and perform the stoning ritual (Rami) at all three Jamarat pillars each day after the sun passes its zenith (Dhuhr time). The sequence is: first the small Jamrah (al-Ula), then the middle Jamrah (al-Wusta), then the large Jamrah (al-Aqabah), with seven pebbles thrown at each. After stoning the small and middle pillars, the pilgrim pauses to make dua. Fasting is strictly prohibited during these days — they are described by the Prophet as 'days of eating, drinking, and remembrance of Allah.' The Quran permits early departure on the 12th for those who wish: 'Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him — for the one who fears Allah' (2:203). Pilgrims who stay for all three days earn greater reward.
