Day 4/5/6 - Prayer, Tribute, and Closing Ceremonies

The 4th day of Hajj primarily consists of constant prayer, with all of the daily prayers being recited while the pilgrims stay at Minah.

Over the course of the next two days, another stoning ceremony would take place[1], this time in a set particular order:

• The First (smallest) Jamarat
• The Middle Jamarat
• The Largest Jamarat

It is important to note that pilgrims have to stone these walls in a particular order. The luxury of a predetermined schedule helps accommodate these needs.

On the last day of the pilgrimage, the pilgrims return to Mecca, where they partake in a farewell ceremony surrounding the Ka'ba (the tawaf). After this ceremony is over, the pilgrimage is officially over and the pilgrims a free to go wherever they wish. [2]
