| Pronunciation | an-NAFR al-AW-wal |
| Etymology | Nafr (نفر) means 'departure,' and Awwal (أول) means 'first.' Nafr Awwal literally translates to 'the first departure,' distinguishing it from Nafr Thani (the second/later departure on the 13th). |
Nafr Awwal(النَّفْر الأَوَّل) Nafr Awwal (first departure) is the option to leave منیٰ on the 12th of Dhul Hijjah after completing the day's stoning. It is the early departure option explicitly permitted in قرآن مجید.
النَّفْر الأَوَّل
Nafr Awwal allows حجاج to shorten their stay in منیٰ by departing on the 12th of Dhul Hijjah, the second of the Days of Tashreeq, after completing the stoning of all three جمرات for that day. The critical condition is timing: the حاجی must leave the boundaries of منیٰ before sunset (Maghrib) on the 12th. If the sun sets while they are still within منیٰ, 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 حاجی had the intention and was in the process of leaving. After departing منیٰ, حجاج typically proceed to مکہ مکرمہ to perform طواف al-Wida (farewell طواف) before leaving the city. Many حجاج choose Nafr Awwal due to the practical challenges of extended stays in منیٰ and tight travel schedules.
