Although permissible to stone after Sunset it is better to do so after Zawwaal. Same advises apply.

INCLUDE PELTING DIAGRAMS AT VARIOUS STAGES Leave for Makkah or Azzizia, increase zikr. If you decide to stay the 13th Zil Hajj, do so, it is most rewarding. There is plenty of food available. Although the pelting is permissible after Subhe Saadiq, do it after Zawwaal, after Zohr, after lunch. The crowds are less. In both days after your last pelting whether it be 12th or 13th, avoid using transport to Makkah or Azzizia. Experience has shown, this journey sometimes takes up to 4/6 hours. Take a slow walk, rest at short intervals if you are weak. Take your time, by now you are half a guide.

Many now come to Azzizia on the 1st day of Zill Hajj and stay there after Hajj. They depart from there also. In Azzizia one should be regular in the nearest Masjid to your place of residents with Salaat, Quraan Tilaawat. Sometimes the agent provides food, during your stay in Azzizia, other agents sell the food to his Hujjaj, otherwise one cooks in the apartments of Azzizia or buys food from other sources.

Generally most agents DO NOT provide food after the 5 days, then the Haji looks around and makes the necessary arrangements, suitable for himself. There are some who sell the food, both in Makkah and Madinah and bring it to your apartment. These people are easily contactable and famous also. Note meal for one suffices for two.

Generally before Hajj your Hajj agent has taken or made arrangements for a ‘Ziyaarat’ of Makkah, just as was done for you in Madinah. You have one duty to perform i.e. Tawaaf e Widaa.

It is Waajib upon all those who stay outside the Meeqat to perform a departing Tawaaf after the performance of Tawaaf e Ziyaarat. This Tawaaf is called the Tawaaf e Widaa and it is also called Tawaaf e Sadr. This is the final Waajib of Haj.

This Tawaaf is Waajib on a person irrespective of which type of Haj he has performed. It is Waajib for all three types of Hujjaaj.

This Tawaaf is NOT Waajib on all those who reside within the boundaries of the Haram and on the "Ahle Haram" (the residents or the people of the Haram.)

A woman who experiences her Haidh (menstruation) after performing the Tawaaf e Ziyaarat but before the Tawaaf e Widaa and whose Mahram is proceeding out of Makkah, need not perform the Tawaaf e Widaa. As long as she is not yet pure, this Tawaaf is not Waajib upon her and she may leave it out without having to give Damm.

It is not necessary to make intention for Tawaaf e Widaa. Any Nafl Tawaaf made after Tawaaf e Ziyaarat, becomes an adequate substitute for Tawaaf e Widaa. However it is best to intentionally perform this Tawaaf at the time of departure.

It is Mustahab to perform this Tawaaf again if one remained in Makkah due to some need.

After performing the Tawaaf e Widaa, perform two rakaats Salaat and facing the Qibla, drink Zam Zam water and depart from the Haram. There is no specific Masnoon duaa for this occasion.

One should therefore ask for whatever one desires. Ask especially to be able to return to this wonderful place. Some elders have written some beautiful duaas which may be read if one so desires.

Your last Nafl Tawaaf can substitute as the Tawaaf e Widaa.

Tawaaf e Widaa can be made immediately after Tawaaf e Ziyaarat in the days of Hajj.

When your agent has made arrangements for your departure and the bus arrives, board. Do not forget any luggage, small or big, once you leave Makkah, what’s left is left. You will be taken back to the Hajj terminal, from where you started, your wonderful Hajj journey.

You will be given back your passport, make sure it is yours.

Now you may go to the United Agency Office to reclaim any nonused coupons. Perhaps you flew from Jeddah to Madinah or Madinah to Jeddah then you are entitled to some refund. You go to the counter, they will give you a document to collect money from the bank. This is a simple, easy, non-complicated procedure. Get your boarding pass, get your luggage checked in and wait for your flight.

The Hajj transit lounges have the air-conditioner’s on full. Do not forget to take your jersey, warm hat, shawl and warm socks. Many Hajji’s are well all the way but get sick at this stage. Make sure you know how many litres of Zam Zam you are allowed to take. Your container has to be properly sealed, marked clearly and do not forget to retrieve it on arrival.

It is safer to declare and pay a little to avoid embarrassment. Now remember you are a Haji, your duaas are accepted for 40 days. Do not start by doing the wrong things e.g., embracing na-mahram people.

If you stay longer in Makkah for a lengthy period of time and by then the group is gone with transport organised by the agent. Then, one day before your journey to Jeddah, go to Mohassasah, show them your ticket and they will tell you to bring a taxi having a Saudi driver, do so, it is easy to find such a driver.

When the driver takes you to the airport make sure you know which terminal you are going to, North/South, stipulate the price first, state that the price includes luggage. At the terminal, the driver will go to an office and before leaving Makkah the Mohassasah gave the driver some documents to have signed in Jeddah airport.

On handing over the passport to the official in Jeddah airport the driver will have the documents signed and will go away to Makkah.

You will get your passport and then retrieve any money, if owed to you.
