On the 11th of Dhul Hijjah (first day of Tashreeq), حجاج stone all three جمرات pillars after Dhuhr نماز — starting with the small (Sughra), then the medium (Wusta), then the large (Aqabah) — throwing 7 pebbles at each, and making دعا after the first two pillars.
Begin the day by praying Fajr in منیٰ. You should have collected 21 pebbles (7 for each of the three جمرات). 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) جمہور علماء کے مطابق. Use the morning to rest, make dhikr, and recite قرآن while waiting for the permissible stoning time.
After Dhuhr, proceed to the جمرات complex. Begin with the small pillar (جمرات al-Sughra), which is the one closest to Masjid al-Khaif and farthest from مکہ مکرمہ. 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 دعا. نبی کریم (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) 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 (جمرات 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 دعا with raised hands. نبی کریم (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) also stood here for a long time making دعا.
Proceed to the large pillar (جمرات al-Aqabah), the one closest to مکہ مکرمہ. 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 دعا. This is the Sunnah — نبی کریم (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) did not stand to make دعا after the large pillar.
After completing the stoning of all three جمرات, return to your camp in منیٰ. Spend the rest of the day in worship, rest, and reflection. It is واجب to spend the night in منیٰ جمہور علماء کے مطابق. Use this time to pray all five daily نمازs at their proper times, recite قرآن مجید, make dhikr, and prepare for the next day of stoning. Ensure you have enough pebbles for tomorrow (another 21 pebbles).
