Why do Muslims throw pebbles at various times during Hajj?
· Hajj is an annual pilgrimage to Makkah. It is spread out over 5 days. It is the 4th Pillar of Islam. · On Day 1, a person who wants to perform Hajj pronounces the intention to perform Umrah. A second intention for the actual Hajj is pronounced at a later period. The pilgrims then move to Mina about three miles away to get here for the prayers at noon. Day 2 is the journey from Mina to Arafat by noon. A sermon is preached and pilgrims stay there until sunset. The day is spent standing in the open on the large plain praying to God and collecting Pebbles. Day 3 is the Day of Sacrifice. Pilgrims collect a bag of tiny pebbles which they carry back to Mina. Stoning the pillar symbolizes stoning the devil. the pebbles must touch the inside of the Jamrat's fence. They also Sacrifice an Animal, cut their hair, celebrate Eidul-Adha, Go to Makkah, Perform Tawaf al-ifadah. Drink from the Zamzam, Perform sa'ee and then return to Mina. Day 4 starts by performing prayers in Mina. The pilgrim stones the The first Jamrah, then the Middle, and finally the Big one in the same consecutive order, after midday on all three days. For the pilgrims who intend to stay only two days, they must leave before Maghrib, for those intending to stay more, they can collect more pebbles. Day 5 begins by Stoning the Jamrah.

What does throwing stones at the five pilars of Islam represent?

Why are the pillars stoned in hajj?
Pillars are not stoned. During Hajj Muslims perform many activities including stoning of Satan following Abraham peace be upon him as he did this in the same three places in Makkah. Muslims do the same as Abraham did but with a difference: "Abraham being a prophet saw the devil "satan" and stoned him, but we stone him without seeing him. We just immitate Abraham and our prophet Mohammed, peace be upon them all, in doing this act. Since the number of pilgrims is growing and since they throw stones in large numbers at the same time and sometimes from a distnat exceeding 10m, stones would go to the other side hitting the faces of those facing opposite direction. So putting a concrete wall will make it easier, shows where to throw stones and protects others in the other side from stones. As such, pillars are not stoned for themselves.
