Earliest and Latest Times for Rami on 10th Zul Hijjah

Q: What are the earliest and latest times for rami (stoning) of the Jamrah on 10th Zul Hijjah without incurring a penalty?

A: Stoning on the 10th Zhul-Hijja begins at Subh Saadiq (at the commencement of Fajr) and ends at Subh Saadiq on the eleventh. If a person did not stone by Subh Saadiq on 11th , Dum (sacrifice of an animal within the Haram area) becomes compulsory. Stoning before Subh Saadiq of the tenth is not valid.
