Al-Haj rituals completed smoothly
Regional-Saudi Arabia, Religion, 2/23/2002

Muslim who are performing al-Haj rituals on Friday arrived from Mouna coming from Musdalifa where they had spent the night on Thursday evening as they completed the main part of their al-Haj ritual.

The Saudi news agency described the move of the pilgrims from Musdalifa to Mouna as secure and easy and completed quickly despite the huge number of pilgrims, noting that the modern transport means and the vast roads contributed to completing their move smoothly and safely.

The pilgrims headed for "Jamrat al-Aqaba," and they will then sacrifice sheep to roam later "Beitullah al-Atiq and Beit al-Hajaj" in Mouna.
