Nafr Thani

What Does Nafr Thani Mean in Detail?

Nafr Thani involves staying in منیٰ for the full three Days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) and completing the stoning ritual at all three جمرات on each day. This was the practice of نبی کریم Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) during his Farewell Pilgrimage, making it the preferred option. While قرآن مجید explicitly states there is no sin in either the early or late departure, scholars agree that staying for the third day carries greater reward. On the 13th, after completing the final stoning, حجاج depart منیٰ for the last time. The stoning on the 13th follows the same sequence as the previous days: small, middle, then large Jamrah, with seven pebbles at each. After leaving منیٰ, حجاج proceed to مکہ مکرمہ for طواف al-Wida before departing the holy city. The 13th of Dhul Hijjah marks the absolute conclusion of the حج rites.
