Nafr Awwal(النَّفْر الأَوَّل) Nafr Awwal (first departure) is the option to leave Mina on the 12th of Dzulhijjah after completing the day's stoning. It is the early departure option explicitly permitted in Al-Al-Quran.
النَّفْر الأَوَّل
Nafr Awwal allows jamaah haji to shorten their stay in Mina by departing on the 12th of Dzulhijjah, the second of the Days of Tashreeq, after completing the stoning of all three Jamarat for that day. The critical condition is timing: the jamaah haji must leave the boundaries of Mina before sunset (Maghrib) on the 12th. If the sun sets while they are still within Mina, the majority of scholars hold that they become obligated to remain for the stoning on the 13th. Some scholars from the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools allow departure even after sunset as long as the jamaah haji had the intention and was in the process of leaving. After departing Mina, jamaah haji typically proceed to Mekkah to perform Tawaf al-Wida (farewell Tawaf) before leaving the city. Many jamaah haji choose Nafr Awwal due to the practical challenges of extended stays in Mina and tight travel schedules.
