Overnight stays and stoning
When is the time for stoning Jamratul Kubra, and what are the recommended practices while stoning?
Answer in brief
Stoning Jamratul Kubra is among the obligatory acts of Hajj, though not a pillar. The permitted time begins after midnight on 10 Dhul Hijjah and ends at sunset on 13 Dhul Hijjah, while the preferred time on the 10th is from the Duha period until the sun passes its zenith. Recommended practices include stopping the talbiah and saying takbir with each throw, using the right hand, using pebbles about the size of a broad bean, stoning in succession and using pebbles free from impurity.
