Fifth day of Hajj !

Hajj:On the 5th and last day of Hajj the pilgrims stone the 3 jamarats and leave Mina for Makka. Before leaving for home they have to perform Tawaf-i-Widaa.If one has not yet done the immolation (the animal sacrifice) or Tawaf-e-Ifada (Ziarat) he should fulfill these rites today before sunset. 
The principle rite of this day is the Rami of all three stones in the same manner as on 11th ZilHijj. The Rami of 12th ZilHijj is also carried out after mid-day and upto a little before early Morning prayer the next day. 
The last and for many the most emotional day of Haj. It is the culmination of years spent praying and saving money to come to this blessed sight.
After successfully completing all Hajj rites, pilgrims depart Mina and return to Mecca before the sunset prayer to farewell the Kaaba with a final round of seven circuits. Pilgrims are then encouraged to leave Mecca, some will continue their stay in Saudi Arabia and visit the Prophet Mohammad’s mosque in Medina while others will immediately head to the airport and return home to their families. 
Me : I think ,after bonding over a tumultuous five days, pilgrims tearfully bid farewell to each other. They may have only known each other for a few days, but these are strong bonds that last a lifetime; everybody remembers their “Haj buddy.” Pilgrims leave Mecca with feelings of spiritual renewal because, as the Prophet Mohammad said, “whoever goes to Haj without obscenity, he or she will be forgiven as [a] new born.”
