One million Muslims move to Mina to perform Hajj rituals
One million pilgrims on Thursday have started moving to vast tented city at Mina, about 5 kilometers from the Grand Mosque of Makkah, to perform Hajj rituals after two years of Covid-19 pandemic.
The pilgrims will offer five prayers in Mina today (Thursday) and they will head to Arfat on Friday to perform the Rukn-e-Azam of the Hajj “Waqoof-e-Arafat”. They will offer Zohr and Asr prayers together and will stay at Arafat the whole day in prayers, Wazaif, and Talbia.
After Sun set, they will leave for Muzdalifah where they will offer both Maghrib and Isha prayers together and spend the whole night under open sky.
A day earlier, the pilgrims performed the ritual of Tawaf Al-Qudum (Tawaf of Arrival), before leaving for Mina on the Day of Tarwiyah.
