LABBAIK - The big exodus to Mina starts on Tuesday evening from Makkah, although the majority of hujjaj will only start the formal journey around Fajr on Wednesday. This will see them travelling to the holy sites at Mina, Arafat, Muzdalifa and then back to Mina before returning to Makkah to conclude the culmination of the five day haj. Stay tuned at 9pm when we continue our live haj coverage.
