He should climb the Safa, look towards Ka'bah, and then make the supplications, transmitted from the Prophet, to Allah. He should climb down and start walking toward Al-Marwah. On approaching one of the two green markers, the male pilgrim should jog to the second marker. After that he should resume his normal pace of walking until he climbs up the Marwah, direct his face to the Ka'bah and supplicate Allah. This will complete his first round. He should repeat the same steps for six other round, completing all seven rounds. The majority of scholars held that Sa'i is an essential condition, as such, if one did not perform it or performed only part of it, he should sacrifice in compensation. Finally, if a Muhrim is performing 'Umrah only or a Hajj Tamattu' (Hajj and 'Umrah with a break in between) he should shave or clip his hair short after Sa'i. This would release him of all the restrictions of Ihram. If the Muhrim intends to perform Hajj Ifrad (Hajj only) or Hajj Qiran (Hajj and 'Umrah together without a break), he should not release himself from the restrictions of Ihram. He must continue in the state of Ihram until he performs the rites of Hajj on the day of Nahr (Sacrifice). On the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, the Mutamatti' (who intends to perform Hajj and 'Umrah with a break in between) should once more resume his state of Ihram from his residence. Then he should proceed to Mina where it is to spend the night, if possible. It is a Sunnah to pray in Mina the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha of the 8th day and the Fajr prayer of the 9th day (the day of 'Arafah). At dawn of the day of Arafah, it is preferred that the pilgrims head for Arafah. They should first combine Dhuhr and Asr at Namira Mosque and listen to the Khutbah. Then, they should proceed towards Arafah for Namira Mosque is not part of Arafah. If the pilgrim was held-up for any reason and missed the congregational prayer, he may combine both prayers anywhere else.

It is preferred that the pilgrim stands by the rocks of Arafah or as close as possible. Standing at Arafah is an integral part of Hajj. The pilgrims standing at Arafah should implore Allah, the Most High, in full submission, humility and obedience. They should implore Allah to accept their deep repentance and regret for the sins they committed. They should preoccupy themselves with the remembrance of Allah, Talbyah and implore Allah to shower His blessing on the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) until nightfall. After nightfall, the pilgrim must leave for Muzdalifah and offer Maghrib and Isha prayers. He should combine them and delay the Maghrib until the time of Isha prayer begins then pray them in combination.

He should spend the night at Muzdalifah. At dawn, he should stand by Al-Mash'ar Al Haram (the Sacred Monument), glorify and remember Allah and supplicate Him until it is broad daylight. Thereafter he should go to pick up the pebbles and return to Mina. There he is to throw Jamrah Al 'Aqabah then slaughter his sacrificial animals, shave or clip his hair short, wear his normal clothes and perform Ghusl (complete ablution). Only then, he is released from all the restrictions of the state of Ihram except for sexual intercourse with his spouse. He must then return to Mecca and perform Tawaf Ifada which is an essential rite of Hajj. After that, he is released from the last restriction and he may have sexual intercourse with his wife. For a pilgrim who is performing Qiran and Ifrad, this second Sa'i is not essential for he already performed Sai' after Tawaf Al Qudum (arrival Circumambulation).

For a pilgrim who is performing Hajj Tamattu', he must perform Sa'i after the Tawaf Ifada because his first Sa'i was part of 'Umrah. Sa'i is a must for the pilgrim who is performing Hajj Qiran or Ifrad and did not perform the arrival Circumambulation. After Tawaf the pilgrim should return to Mina, and spend the nights of the days of At Tashriq. There is disagreement among the scholars as to whether this overnight stay at Mina is essential or a Sunnah. At Mina, the pilgrim should preoccupy himself with the glorification and remembrance of Allah, The Most High. He should utter the prescribed Takbir because he is in the feast days. He should persist in Takbir particularly after the prescribed prayers. After midday of the first day of At-Tashriq, the pilgrim must throw pebbles at the three Jamarat, he will throw seven pebbles at each Jamrah, starting with the small, then middle then large Jamrah. Sequence is an essential condition that should be observed. It is a Sunnah that after throwing the pebbles, the pilgrim supplicates Allah for the good of life and the Hereafter. He is to do the same thing at the middle Jamrah but at the last Jamrah, he should leave without stopping for supplications. It is preferred that the pilgrim finishes throwing pebbles at the three Jamarat well before sunset. Throwing pebbles is allowed until dawn.

A group of scholars say that it is allowed until the last days of At-Tashriq. On the second day, he should repeat the same rites. At this point if the pilgrim is in a hurry, he may leave Mina before sunset. But if he does not leave until sunset, he is obligated to spend the night at Mina. He is to throw pebbles on the third day. After throwing the pebbles, he should proceed to Mecca where he is free to buy whatever he wants. If he makes up his mind to go home, he must perform the farewell Tawaf which is an essential rite of Hajj. Women experiencing menstruation and post-birth bleeding are excused from Tawaf Al Wada'. The pilgrim should utter Takbir (Allah is the Great) with each throw. The pilgrim should say Takbir until the noon of the third days of At-Tashriq. Going home, the pilgrim must be the epitome of the pious, virtuous, compassionate, cooperative and selfless worshipper, as much as he can.
