Jamarat (Stones)

    1. A structure located in Mina that includes the three wells for Jamarat throwing (Stoning of the Devil). It is equipped with entry and exit pathways to enable pilgrims to perform the ritual of throwing the stones and then return to their camps.

    2. The three Jamarat are named “Mina” because they are the sites where the stones are thrown. They are the Small Jamrah (Jamrat al-Sughra), the Middle Jamrah (Jamrat al-Wusta), and Jamrat al-Aqabah, also known as the Large Jamrah (Jamrat al-Kubra).

    3. Each of the three stones was erected in the place where the devil appeared to Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and he stoned him.

    4. The ritual of throwing stones at the three Jamarat has remained a tradition since the time of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and was renewed by our Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).
