Hajj Pilgrims Stone The Devil In Final Ritual

Muslim faithful performed the symbolic ritual of stoning the devil near Mecca as the climactic event of the annual hajj pilgrimage. Over 1.7 million people are participating in the hajj this year, which coincides with Eid al-Adha. Pilgrims endured intense heat, praying atop Mount Arafat and collecting pebbles for the stoning ritual in Mina.
