Hajj unfolds over roughly five days, from the 8th to the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah. Each day has its own rites, and performing them in the right order is what makes your Hajj valid. Here is the journey, step by step, the way Raahi's scholars walk you through it.
8th (Yawm al-Tarwiyah): you enter Ihram for Hajj and travel to Mina, where you spend the day and night in prayer. 9th (Yawm al-Arafah): the pinnacle of Hajj — you stand at Arafat from midday until sunset in du'a (Wuquf), then move to Muzdalifah, where you pray and spend the night under the open sky, gathering pebbles for the next day.
10th (Yawm al-Nahr): you return towards Mina for the Rami of Jamrat al-Aqabah (stoning), offer your Qurbani, shave or trim your hair to exit Ihram, and perform Tawaf al-Ifadah at the Kaaba. 11th–13th (Ayyam al-Tashreeq): you stay in Mina and stone all three Jamarat each day. Before leaving Makkah, every pilgrim performs Tawaf al-Wida, the farewell circuit of the Kaaba.
