In what order do I stone the three Cemerat pillars?

Question

Accepted Answer

The stoning sequence differs between the Day of Sacrifice (10th) and the Days of Tashreeq (11th-13th). On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, only one pillar is stoned: Cemerat al-Aqabah (also called al-Kubra — the largest pillar, located nearest to Mekke). You throw 7 pebbles at it, saying 'Allahu Akbar' with each throw.

On the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah, all three pillars are stoned in a specific order, starting from the one farthest from Mekke and moving toward Mekke: (1) Cemerat al-Sughra (the smallest, farthest from Mekke) — 7 pebbles; (2) Cemerat al-Wusta (the middle pillar) — 7 pebbles; (3) Cemerat al-Aqabah / al-Kubra (the largest, nearest to Mekke) — 7 pebbles. This order is wajib (farz) alimlerin cogunluguna gore.

The Sunnah after stoning al-Sughra is to move to the side, face the Qiblah, raise your hands, and make a lengthy dua. Similarly after al-Wusta — stand, face the Qiblah, and make dua. However, after stoning al-Aqabah (the final pillar), you do NOT stand for dua — you simply leave the area. This follows the exact practice of Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem). The modern Cemerat bridge is a multi-level structure designed to ease crowding — you may stone from any level, and the pillars are now wall-shaped (not actual pillars) with a basin to catch the pebbles.
