They will leave Arafat before Maghrib. They will go from Arafat to Muzdalfa and perform the prayers of Maghrib and Isha together.
Hujjaj will go to their tents after living under sky at night and performing Fajr prayer. After sacrificing animals, the hujjaj will cut their hair. They can perform ‘tawaf ziarat’ in Makkah after hitting stones on devils on the first day.
