The ritual of throwing stones (Ramy al-Jamarat) is performed during the Hajj pilgrimage on the 10th, 11th, and 12th days of Zulhijjah. The first day, the 10th of Zulhijjah, coincides with Eid al-Adha and is the main day when pilgrims throw seven pebbles at the three stone pillars in Mina. The stoning ritual continues on the 11th and 12th days as well. The 9th of Zulhijjah is the Day of Arafah, not the 10th. Therefore, the correct answer for the date when Ramy al-Jamarat is performed during Jumeraat is the 10th Zulhijjah.
