Practical Hajj Guide

Thirteenth Thul Hijjah (6th Day of Hajj

**You should have spent the last night in Mina.

**Pelt the three pillars after Thuhr/zawaal as on the last two days.

**When you intend travelling out of Makkah, perform the farewell tawaaf (al Wadaa’). If a woman is menstruating or experiencing post natal bleeding, she does not need to do this tawaaf.

With this, the rites of Hajj have been completed.

Some Errors Committed on the Twelfth and Thirteenth

1. Leaving the place dirty and leaving garbage around without even bothering while this is far from the teachings of Islaam.

2. Some visit the Masjid of the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) thinking that it is part of the Hajj and this is wrong. The truth is that visiting al Masjid an Nabawi is sunnah either before or after Hajj and has nothing to do with the rites of the Hajj itself; the Hajj is not “more complete” with this visit.

3. Some people complain a great deal after Hajj about how tired they are and what a great thing they’ve done! They make as though they have done Allaah a favour and this is a sign of weak faith and lack of understanding.
