Pilgrims Perform Stoning Ritual at Jamarat During First Day of Tashreeq

Millions of pilgrims performed the ritual of stoning the three Jamarat on the first day of Tashreeq and the second day of Eid Al-Adha in Mina, as part of the ongoing Hajj rituals carried out under a highly organized operational and security system.

Pilgrims began arriving at the Jamarat facility early in the morning, starting with the small Jamarah, followed by the middle Jamarah, and finally Jamarat Al-Aqaba, following the tradition of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The movement of pilgrims inside the Jamarat complex and surrounding pathways remained smooth and organized throughout the day due to carefully implemented crowd-management plans.

Advanced Crowd Management Plans

Authorities carried out the stoning process according to detailed crowd-flow strategies coordinated among multiple government entities to ensure the safe movement of pilgrims across different routes and levels of the Jamarat facility.

Field teams monitored crowd movement directly while advanced systems were used to regulate pedestrian flow and reduce congestion, allowing pilgrims to complete the ritual safely and comfortably.

Extensive Security and Health Readiness

Security personnel, medical teams, ambulance services, and civil defense units were heavily deployed across Mina and around the Jamarat complex to support pilgrims and maintain safety during peak movement hours.

Authorities also intensified guidance and awareness services to help pilgrims navigate the holy sites smoothly, while emergency response teams and medical centers remained on high alert.

Cooling systems, water spraying initiatives, and shaded pathways were also provided to help pilgrims cope with high temperatures during the pilgrimage.

Integrated Services Continue in Mina

Operational plans continue throughout the Days of Tashreeq through a comprehensive system that includes:

• Transportation and crowd management.
• Medical and emergency services.
• Cooling and environmental sanitation.
• Cleaning and waste management.
• Guidance and awareness services.
• Pedestrian flow organization.

These efforts reflect the extensive resources dedicated to serving pilgrims and ensuring they can perform Hajj rituals safely and comfortably.

Pilgrims Continue Completing Hajj Rituals

Pilgrims will continue staying in Mina during the Days of Tashreeq to complete the remaining Hajj rituals, while those wishing to leave early may depart after completing the stoning ritual on the second day of Tashreeq according to Islamic rulings.

This year’s Hajj season continues to showcase advanced levels of organization, coordination, and service quality as authorities work to further improve the pilgrim experience year after year.
