The pilgrim collects Jamarat from Mina or Muzdalifah, which are small pebbles. A group of scholars stated that the wisdom behind stoning the Jamarat is to insult Satan and show opposition to him, and to follow the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said:<blockquote style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> “Take your rituals from me.”</blockquote> But where do these pebbles go after they are thrown? The answer is that it goes through several stages after the pilgrim throws it. It descends to the bottom and moves on a path to collect it, and it is examined and the pebbles are selected from others. At the bottom of the Jamarat Bridge lies the secret of collection. Automatic systems lift the gravel with huge belts that pull the existing gravel after collecting it in the basin of the Three Jamarat Bridge. Each basin contains two systems to lift everything that is thrown at the bottom of the bridge at different speeds, in addition to doors that are automatically controlled to open, close and determine Gravel path and its quantities. The system also features sorting sensors to filter and isolate non-gravel waste. See also: <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%85-%D8%A7...

The system works through electronic gates on the bridge’s floors to transport the stones to the compressor trucks waiting at the bottom of the facility. The gravels are disposed of as waste in approved targets, and the quantities disposed of are estimated at about a thousand tons annually. According to official statistics. The Jamarat facility is one of the most prominent projects in Mina, as its total cost amounted to more than 4.2 billion Saudi riyals (one dollar is equivalent to 3.75 riyals). The facility's capacity is 300,000 pilgrims per hour, and it was built with a length of 950 meters and a width of 80 metres. The foundations of the facility were designed to be able to support 12 floors, and it can accommodate 5 million pilgrims in the future if the need arises. The project consists of 5 floors, each 12 meters high, and provides all supporting services for the comfort of pilgrims, including a ground tunnel for transporting pilgrims that separates vehicular traffic from pedestrian traffic. The project contains 11 entrances to the Jamarat and 12 exits in the four directions, in addition to providing it with a helicopter landing pad for emergency situations, ground tunnels, and an advanced cooling system that works with a desert air conditioning system that pumps a type of mist onto the pilgrims and the areas surrounding the Jamarat, which contributes to reducing the temperature to about 29 degrees Celsius.
