10th Day of Dhul-Hijjah
(Sacrifice Day)
* Dear brothers and sisters may Allah accept our Hajj.
* All pilgrims must perform Dawn Prayer (Fajr) in Muzadlifa with the exception of women and weak people.
* After Dawn Prayer face the Qibla, keep praising Allah, reciting Takbir (Allah is the Greatest) and supplication until the sky becomes a glow.
* Before sunrise proceed to Mina quietly reciting Talbiya.
* Speed up your walk when you pass by Muhassir Valley.
* Pick up seven pebbles from anywhere in Muzadalifa or Mina.
Then you have to do the following:
1. Throw seven pebbles at Jamarat Al-Aqaba in a successive way and recite Takbir with every pebble. Then you slaughter Hadi (“It is an obligation for the Mutamatia' and the Qarin only”).
He eats from the sacrifice and distributes some to the poor.
2. You shorten and shave hair from all parts of your head. It is better to shave it (for men only). Women are to cut only a fingertip of their hair.
