On the 8th of Dhul Hijjah (Yawm al-Tarwiyah), hacilar enter ihram from their accommodation in Mekke, declare the intention (niyyah) for Hac, recite the Telbiye, and travel to the tent city of Mina. There they pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — each shortened to two rak'at where applicable — and spend the night in worship and rest.
On the morning of the 8th Dhul Hijjah, perform gusul (ritual bath) at your accommodation in Mekke. Men put on the two white unstitched garments of ihram (izar and rida'). Women wear their normal modest clothing. Apply unscented soap; perfume applied before the niyyah is permissible alimlerin cogunluguna gore, based on the hadith of Aisha (RA). Once dressed, pray two rak'at of sunnah if it is not a disliked time for namaz.
Make the intention in your heart for Hac. The verbal declaration is sunnet but not farz in the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools. Say: 'Labbayk Allahumma Hajjan' (Here I am, O Allah, for Hac). If you fear an obstacle that may prevent you from completing Hac, add the condition (ishtiraat): 'If anything prevents me, then my place of release is wherever You hold me.' Then begin the Telbiye and continue reciting it frequently throughout the day.
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Hajj.

After entering ihram, travel to the valley of Mina, approximately 5-8 km east of Mescid-i Haram. Most hacilar take organized buses; walking is also permissible and was the practice of Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem). Continue reciting the Telbiye throughout the journey. Upon arrival, locate your assigned tent and settle in. Mina is a vast tent city in a narrow valley between mountains.
Upon arriving in Mina, pray Dhuhr as two rak'at (qasr — the traveler's shortening). Then pray Asr as two rak'at at its appointed time. Each namaz is prayed at its own time; they are NOT combined on this day alimlerin cogunluguna gore. Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) prayed each namaz at its time in Mina, shortened but not combined.
Pray Maghrib at its time as three rak'at (Maghrib is never shortened). Then pray Isha at its time as two rak'at (qasr). Engage in dhikr, recitation of Kur'an, and dua between the namazs. This is a blessed night of preparation before the great day of Arafat.
Spend the night in your tent at Mina. This overnight stay (mabit) is sunnah on the 8th. Use the time for rest, personal reflection, recitation of Kur'an, and preparing your heart for the Day of Arafat. Pray Fajr the next morning at its earliest time, then prepare to depart for Arafat after sunrise. Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) waited until after sunrise to leave Mina for Arafat.
