Common mistakes in Hajj - In stoning the Jamarat


  • The Jamarat are not Devils, and Shaytaan is not tied up for the stoning of himself. Hajjis that hold this misconception end up cursing, swearing, throwing sandals, etc. It is a commandment from Allah to glorify Allah by saying ‘Allahu Akbar’ with each pebble.

  • You do not have to wash your stones.

  • Do not throw sandals or wood or big rocks. This is all against the Sunnah.

  • Do not hurt/shove when at the Jamarat.

  • Say Allahu Akbar with each pebble. Do not say Bismillaah.

  • Throw the pebbles separately.

  • Make Dua’ after the first and second Jamarat.


  • Do not throw the Jamarat before it is time.

  • Throw the Jamarat from small to medium to large. Not the other way.

  • If someone is throwing on your behalf, you must be unable to throw yourself.

  • If someone is throwing on your behalf, you do not have to collect the stones yourself and hand the stones to that thrower.

  • Throw seven pebbles, not more or less.
