Muslim Pilgrimage is time oriented--ONLY at this time of the year. A Lesser pilgrimage-Umrah- can be peformed any time of the year except during these days 5 of Hajj beginning today, the eighth of Zdul-Hijjah.

They put on the "Ihraam" and made intention of Hajj.(Tamattu')
Those who had Ihraam already and made intention for Hajj only (Mufrad) joined them.

Journey has begun --first stop Mina-- a camp outside Makkah in Mina where they are spending about 24 hours praying (five salats, starting from Zduhr until the Fajr of the next day after which---march again) resting relaxing before the day of Hajj (9th).

Mina is like a huge camp of picnic. Yes it is.
