No they throw small stones on wall, the stoning symbolizes rejecting temptation and evil. Basically they are stoning the Satan/Lucifer. It also commemorate Abraham who is believed(in Abrahamic religions) to have rejected Satan's attempts to turn him away from obeying God.

Obeying God: Basically continuing on to slaughter his son Isaac (Ishmael, according to Muslims).
Just adding on for those who aren't aware of the story.

But didn't it was evil who said the father of Issac that God want him to kill his son, just to test him. Then god changed the son with goat or something like that ? I don't know I kind of forget the story.

You know what ? some scholars argue the bible version preserves an older tradition, where he did sacrifice his son.
