The greatest day of Hajj, Arafa Day.

I forgot to add one thing, a complete Hajj (pilgrimage) is rewarded by Jannah (Paradise). It is in Hadith narrated by Albukhari and Muslim, Abu Hurairah, (may Allah be pleased with him) said, Prophet Mohammed ( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ((He who makes Hajj and never makes sexual intercourse (with his wife) or talks unjustly will go back as if his mother gave birth to him the first time)).

Pilgrims stay there and before sunset on the Arafa day, they start to move to another area called Muzdaliffa, or Almashaar Alharam. This is another rite of the Hajj (pilgrimage). Magrib and Ishaa prayers will be combined lately and the pilgrim makes duaa (supplication) at Almashaar Alharam, collects the jamarat (stones), and then he spends the night.

 At dawn, he moves to the rite of Mina to throw the stones, and to offer the sacrifice. You can shorten or shave your hair. Then, you can go to Mecca to perform Ifadah (finishing) tawaf, and Saii. The rites of Hajj are performed in this order, Ihram, Talbbiyah, Tawaf Algudoom, going to Mina and spend the night there, standing on Arafa, spending the night in Muzdaliffa, throwing the stones (starting with the big one. Farewell Tawaf. The tenth of Thulhijjah is the big Eid. It is the day of eating, drinking, and making worship to Allah. 

When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about sacrificing before throwing the stones or throwing the stones before shaving or shortening the hair. he permitted them all, and there was nothing wrong if you do this rite before or after. 

on the next part, we will write according to the occasion.
