Hajj pilgrims were performing the symbolic stoning of the devil on the first day of Tashreeq on Saturday.

They will stone the devil with three pebbles at Jamarat after having had performed the first phase of the stoning on Friday and ending their state of Ihram.

Also on Friday, which was the first day of Eid al-Adha, the pilgrims performed the Ifada tawaf of the holy Kaaba at the Grand Mosque in Makkah. Before that, they had ascended Mount Arafat on Thursday – considered the peak of the Hajj.

The Saudi Interior Ministry has called on pilgrims to follow the designated paths that connect each area where rituals are performed.

It also called on them to follow the set timetable for each ritual.

An Interior Ministry spokesman said on Friday that the security forces continue to perform their duties in protecting the pilgrims and ensuring their safety as they carry out the sacred rituals.

For pilgrims seeking to depart on the second day of Tashreeq, he urged them to remain in their tents until their departure times.

He underscored the Interior Ministry’s continued security and organizational efforts to ensure the safety of the pilgrims as they complete their holy journey.
