Hajj rituals test Saudi Arabian authorities Overcrowding and congestion as pilgrims camp out in desolate locationWhile more than a billion Muslims around the world celebrated Eid today, those gathered in the Al-Masha'er district of Saudi Arabia proceeded with their hajj rituals – throwing pebbles at vast pillars, shaving their heads and sacrificing animals.Shaving the head, or halq, is a fundamental act for all male pilgrims during the pilgrimage: Muhammad is said to have prayed three times for men who removed all their hair and only once for those who trimmed it.The slaughter of an animal – qurbani – marks Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael at Allah's command. The ministry of hajj proudly announced earlier this month that more than 100,000 Somali sheep were on hand to cover the high demand for sacrificial animals, adding to the 400,000 waiting in Jeddah and the extra million already being imported.The casting of stones sees pilgrims re-enact Abraham's rejection of the devil. According to Islamic tradition the prophet was on his way to sacrifice his son Ishmael at Allah's request when he was tempted by the devil on three occasions. Each time the prophet threw stones to drive him away. Hajj authorities have deployed 360 coolers and tent fabric to protect pilgrims from the suns rays. There are also misting fans and spraying tubes.Today's exertions come hard on the heels of an unforgiving overnight regime. Pilgrims last night camped out in Muzadalifa, a desolate place but for washrooms, open-air barbecues and mobile phone stands. They slept on plastic or cotton sheeting, some had blankets to cover them – although many did not – and they were surrounded by piles of discarded food, packaging and footwear. They left just before dawn prayer.In addition to being stepped on – or over – by other pilgrims ma 過密、世界中の億のイスラム教徒は今日、イードを祝うよりも荒涼としたlocationWhile以上の巡礼者のキャンプからの混雑は、サウジアラビアのAl - Masha。。u0026#39;er地区に集まった人々は、巡礼の儀式を進めて - 広大な柱で小石を投げて、頭を剃ると、頭をanimals.Shavingまたはhalq犠牲に、巡礼中にすべての男性の巡礼者のための基本的な行為である：ムハンマドはすべて自分の髪は一度だけの人欠いだ虐殺をトリミングされたものは削除人の3倍を祈ったと言われている動物 - qurbani - アッラーのコマンドプロンプトで息子イスマーイールを犠牲にマークアブラハムの意欲
