The second part of the Hajj photo essay covers the 5 days of Hajj. This starts off with the first day in Mina, the second day in Arafat, that night in Muzdalifah. Following the night spent in Muzdalifah, the Hajjis make their way back to Mina, and head to Jamarat for the first day of stoning of Shaitan. After this is done, the pilgrims must wait for their sacrifice to be performed. Once the sacrifice is completed, one can get out of their state of Ihraam by shaving their head or cutting their hair. Once all of these rites are completed, the main part of Hajj is completed. Pilgrims make their way back to Makkah for 'Tawaf e Ziyarat' and complete their Saee for Hajj. Once this is completed they return to Mina for the night and head to Jamarat for the second day of stoning after Zuhr the next day. Once the second day of stoning is completed, pilgrims head back to Mina for the final night. The last morning (5th day of Hajj), pilgrims make their way to Jamarat for the last day of stoning. Once this last rite is completed, the Hajj is completed and all conditions of Ihraam are lifted.
