Jamrah Akbar
Muslims stone symbols of the Devil at Mina (a town close to Makkah or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia during Hajj (or pilgrimage)
those are the devils who told the wife of Prophet Abraham that he will sacrifice his son.
Hajj is performed only during 8th to 13th of the month of Zil Hajja. During other days it is called Umra.
The pilgrims may eat any Hala food which they eat in other days. Nothing is prohibited during Hajj.
The stoning of the devil, known as "Ramy al-Jamarat," is a ritual performed during the Islamic pilgrimage of Hajj. It symbolizes the rejection of evil and temptation, commemorating the actions of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) when he rejected the devil's temptation. Pilgrims throw stones at three pillars representing the devil, located in Mina, near Mecca. This act is a significant part of the Hajj rites, reflecting the spiritual struggle against sin.
It symbolizes stoning the Devil.
Apart from performing Hajj at Mecca, the Muslim Hajis are supposed to visit Madina Munawara.
A respectful way to greet a Muslim friend during the Hajj is by saying "Assalamu alaikum," which means "Peace be upon you" in Arabic. This is a common greeting among Muslims and is especially fitting during the Hajj pilgrimage, as it reflects the spirit of peace and unity that is central to this sacred journey.
In my opinion, the best time is during the first 10 days of Thul Hijjah but all other times is great too. As long as the Muslim brother or sister has the neya.
Fasting during Hajj days is NOT obligatory for pilgrims or non-pilgrims.
Muslims visit Mecca and Medina during hajj.
During Hajj, Muslims visit several significant sites in addition to the Kaaba in Mecca. They go to Mina, where they spend the night in tents and perform the ritual of stoning the devil at the Jamarat. Another important site is Arafat, where pilgrims stand in prayer and reflection on the Day of Arafah, considered the pinnacle of Hajj. Additionally, they visit Muzdalifah for prayer and collection of pebbles for the stoning ritual.
