Main activities of hajj at Mina on 8th Dh-Hijja


بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Going to mina
You are going to mina for staying five days at mina, arafat & Muzdalifah. Carry only the essential things. A foam bed & one pillow is given to every hajjis at the tent. Take some dry food & necessary medicine. Take one extra piece of ihram cloth with you. You will be there wearing ihram before hair cutting on the 10th Dh-Hijja . After that you will be in normal dress for next two days, 11th Dh-Hijja & 12th Dh-Hijja till after noon, but it is sunnah to stay at mina till 13th Dh-Hijja after noon .

Stay at mina
Tamuttu hajjis who are staying at Makkah go to mina by wearing ihram at their home/hotel on the 8th Dh-Hijja . Normally hajj package managers carry hajjis to mina by bus on on 7th Dh-Hijja from afternoon to avoid crowd. It is necessary ( sunnah ) to stay at mina on 8th Dh-Hijja day after night. hajjis stay in tent at mina the tents are air conditioned but lot of hajjis are accommodated in every tent so there is a crowded situation. Share your experience of staying at tent at mina.


Food-stuff at mina
All kind of foods are not available at mina as like as Makkah. Over all hygiene & sanitation of mina is not so good. So there is a chance to be ill by food borne diseases. Be careful to eat food & strictly maintain personal hygiene. Share your experience of taking food at tent at mina.

Tent location
All the tents & roads at mina are mostly identical, so it is very difficult to identify own tent when go out from tent for any purpose. Map of mina with road name & tent number is very important tool to locate own tent. Before go to mina card with tent number & address is given to every hajjis. So try to locate your tent in the map, see the road name beside your tent. Make a study about all neighboring road name & how to go from one road to another & how to go jamarat from your tent & how to come back from jamarat. It is also important to locate the bus or taxi station near to your tent & how to go that station to go to Makkah. When you come back from Makkah by bus or taxi at that time the station is not the same from where you go to Makkah . It is another bus station at other location. So make a study about the bus station location & how to come back from there to your tent. Try to find out local bus or taxi route at mina, arafa & Muzdalifah. Many hajjis face problem to come back to own tent.
