What do pilgrims do on hajj around mecca?

Answer 1

There are several steps to the Hajj. 1. Pilgrims enter the state of consecration for hajj when they reach the borders of the general area for hajj. 2. When they arrive in Makkah, they generally perform tawaf, walking around the Kaaba seven times counter-clockwise, and then they offer two rakats (units) of salat (formal Islamic prayer.) They also perform saie, walking back and forth between Mounts Safa and Marwa. The Kaaba, Safa, and Marwa are inside the Holy Mosque in Makkah. 3. On the day of Arafat, they go to the Valley of Arafat, and stay there until sunset. It is in Arafat that the pilgrim's sins are forgiven. This is the most important ritual of the hajj. 4. After sunset, they move to another valley, Muzdalifah, and spend the night there. 5. The next day, the Feast of the Sacrifice, or Eid-al-Adha, they sacrifice a sheep and give the meat to the poor. Nowadays, this is done by professional butchers in processing plants. Pilgrims pay a fee to have this done, and seldom see or participate in the actual slaughter. The processing plants clean and then freeze or can the meat, which is distributed to the poor in a number of countries. 6. Once the sacrifice has taken place, pilgrims trim their hair and nails, and leave the condition of consecration. 7. Before leaving Makkah, they offer a farewell tawaf.
