The time for throwing the stones at the three Jamarat (the appointed places at which the stones are to be thrown) starts afternoon (after zenith).
They are to be thrown in ascending order; the smaller, the middle, then the greater.
Each one of the Jamarat is to be thrown with seven stones successively, one after the other.
While throwing each stone celebrate Allah's Greatness, saying "Allahu-Akbar" (Allah is Greatest).
While throwing the stones at the three Jamarat it is commendable, first, to make the smaller one between you and the Qiblah (Prayer Direction); second, to proceed to the middle one, facing Qiblah and supplicate Allah for a long time and then throw the stones; finally, to proceed to the greater Jamarat, putting Qiblah to your left and Mina to your right and throw the stones. After throwing the stones at the greater Jamarat (Al-`Aqabah), do not wait for supplication, because the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not wait after throwing the last Jamarat.
