the Mina days (أَيَّامُ مِنَى)


الفقه أصول الفقه

التعريف :


The three days following the day of sacrifice (11, 12 and 13 Dhul-Ḥijjah). They are given this name because pilgrims return to mina, after performing the ṭawāf al-ifāḍah on 10 Dhul-Ḥijjah to perform the stoning duty and stay the nights in mina. Scholars say that they are the tashrīq days.

المعنى الاصطلاحي :


The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth day of the month of Dhul-Hijjah.

الشرح المختصر :


"Ayyām Minā" (the days of Mina) are the three "tashreeq" days after the day of "Nahr", which is the Eid day. They are also known as the days of "rami", the days of "rami al-jimār", and the numbered days. They were attributed to Mina, a place in Makkah, because the pilgrims perform a number of Hajj rituals there, such as throwing the stones, passing the night, and the like.
