Pilgrims enter farewell phase as Two Holy Mosques step up operations ahead of Hajj conclusion

MINA: The Grand Mosque is undergoing intensive operational preparations to manage pilgrims’ movement during Tawaf Al-Wada, the farewell circumambulation around the Kaaba, which marks the conclusion of Hajj for most of this year’s 1.71 million pilgrims. In Islamic jurisprudence, pilgrims who perform the stoning ritual on the second day of Tashreeq may proceed to the Grand Mosque to perform the final tawaf under the option known as Ta’ajul, or hastened Hajj, provided they leave Mina before sunset on the 12th of Dhul Hijjah; otherwise, they must remain in Mina for the third day of Tashreeq.
