4 - 6. Rites of Mina
4. Ram?y [stoning] of Jamarat-al-?Aqabah
428. The fourth rite of Hajj is the Ram?y. When the pilgrim arrives in Mina he should first go to Jamarat-al-?Aqabah, which is the first obelisk, also known as al- Jamarat-al-Kubra ? The Greater Obelisk. The pilgrim should stone this obelisk with seven stones that he collected from the Mash?ar, or from within the borders of the sacred Haram.
429. The time for the Ram?y [stoning] of the first obelisk is on the Day of Eid, from sunrise to sunset. The Ram?y is the first of the rites of Mina, and thus it is not permissible, as a precaution, to bring forward any of the other rites, namely the Had?y and the halq.
