Rami al-Jamarat(رَمْي الجَمَرَات) Rami al-Jamarat is the Haji ritual of throwing pebbles at stone pillars (Jamarat) in Mina. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's rejection of Shaytan's temptation and is a Wajib act of Haji.
رَمْي الجَمَرَات
Rami al-Jamarat takes place in Mina over the final days of Haji and symbolizes Prophet Ibrahim's defiance when Shaytan tried to dissuade him from obeying Allah's command to sacrifice his son. Ibrahim threw stones at Shaytan at three locations, now marked by the Jamarat pillars. On the 10th of Dzulhijjah (Yawm al-Nahr), only Jamrat al-Aqabah (the largest) is stoned with seven pebbles, saying 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each throw. On each of the Days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and optionally 13th), all three Jamarat are stoned in order: first al-Sughra (small), then al-Wusta (middle), then al-Aqabah (large), with seven pebbles each. After stoning the small and middle pillars, the jamaah haji faces the Qiblah and makes doa. The modern Jamarat Bridge is a multi-level structure designed to manage the massive crowds safely. Pebbles should be slightly larger than a chickpea and can be collected from Muzdalifah or anywhere in the Haram.
