In Hajj, stoning means to throw stones at figures that are set up there.

It is done based on the history of an Islamic event, where Prophet Abraham was going to sacrifice his son in the name of their God, Allah.

Satan was trying to stop him, but he threw stones at him in three places and that is where they throw stone during hajj. That is the story according to the Islamic belief.

What is hajj ifraid?

Ifraad is one of the three types of Hajj: Tamattu', Ifraad and Qiraan.In brief description Ifraad means entering ihraam for Hajj only. When the pilgrim reaches Makkah he performs tawaaf al-qudoom (tawaaf of arrival) and saa'i for Hajj, but he does not shave or cut his hair and does not exit ihraam, rather he remains in ihraam until he exits ihraam after stoning Jamarat al-'Aqabah on the day of Eid. If he delays the saa'i of Hajj until after the tawaaf of Hajj, there is nothing wrong with that.
