On the 11th of Dhul Hijjah (first day of Tashreeq), hacilar stone all three Cemerat pillars after Dhuhr namaz — starting with the small (Sughra), then the medium (Wusta), then the large (Aqabah) — throwing 7 pebbles at each, and making dua after the first two pillars.
Begin the day by praying Fajr in Mina. You should have collected 21 pebbles (7 for each of the three Cemerat). Each pebble should be roughly the size of a chickpea or date seed. Wash the pebbles if needed. The time for stoning on this day begins after the sun passes its zenith (Dhuhr time) alimlerin cogunluguna gore. Use the morning to rest, make dhikr, and recite Kur'an while waiting for the permissible stoning time.
After Dhuhr, proceed to the Cemerat complex. Begin with the small pillar (Cemerat al-Sughra), which is the one closest to Masjid al-Khaif and farthest from Mekke. Throw 7 pebbles, one at a time, saying 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each throw. After completing the stoning, move to the right side away from the pillar, face the Qiblah, raise your hands, and make a lengthy dua. Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) would stand here for a long time supplicating.
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Hajj.

Proceed to the middle pillar (Cemerat al-Wusta). Throw 7 pebbles one at a time, saying 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each throw. After completing this stoning, again move to the left side, face the Qiblah, and make a lengthy dua with raised hands. Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) also stood here for a long time making dua.
Proceed to the large pillar (Cemerat al-Aqabah), the one closest to Mekke. This is the same pillar you stoned on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah. Throw 7 pebbles one at a time, saying 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each throw. After stoning the large pillar, depart immediately without stopping for dua. This is the Sunnah — Hz. Peygamber (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) did not stand to make dua after the large pillar.
After completing the stoning of all three Cemerat, return to your camp in Mina. Spend the rest of the day in worship, rest, and reflection. It is farz to spend the night in Mina alimlerin cogunluguna gore. Use this time to pray all five daily namazs at their proper times, recite Kur'an-i Kerim, make dhikr, and prepare for the next day of stoning. Ensure you have enough pebbles for tomorrow (another 21 pebbles).
