Balkans | The pilgrims bid farewell to the Kaaba

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims said goodbye to the Kaaba, who finished their duties in the Holy Land and became pilgrims.

Muslims who come to the Holy Land from all over the world to be pilgrims experience the happiness of fulfilling all the requirements of the Hajj.

Muslims who performed their founding duty on the eve of Eid al-Adha in Arafat and Muzdalifah and then proceeded to the Jamarat and threw 7 stones at the “Aqaba cheese”, which was expressed as the “Great Satan”, and then performed the visiting circumambulation. A Saa’ in the Kaaba.

Muslims, who became pilgrims by leaving the ihram after cutting and shaving their sacrifices, continued stoning the devil on the second and third days of Eid.

The pilgrims, who arrived at the Jamarat area in groups, threw the seven stones they had collected from Muzdalifah and Arafat to the “small, medium and great Satan” on the second and third days of Eid.

After stoning Satan, most of the pilgrims headed to the Kaaba, where they were to bid farewell soon, and walked from the Jamarat to the Grand Mosque to bid farewell to the Tawaf.

The pilgrims who arrived here prayed, recited the Qur’an, and prayed next to the circumambulation.

Goodbye to Mecca

As the Hajj season drew to a close, some of the nominated pilgrims who had come to the Holy Land by moving from Turkey with their caravans arrived at Medina and some reached Mecca. Pilgrims arriving in Mecca will start their journey to Medina, their second stop of the Hajj, starting today.
