Question

What are the days of pelting?

Answer

Pelting (rami) will be done on 4 days during hajj:

1. On the 10th of Zul Hijjah, only the Jamaratul Aqabah (the big ‘Shaitaan’) will be pelted.

2. On the 11th of Zul Hijjah, all 3 Jamaraat will be pelted.

3. On the 12th of Zul Hijjah, all 3 Jamaraat will be pelted.

4. On the 13th of Zul Hijjah, all 3 Jamaraat will be pelted.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
