Question:
Honorable Shaykh, among the questions that came in, a friend of mine says: He performed Hajj last year and departed on the eleventh day. I told him that he made a mistake, saying, "Hajj is 'Arafah." So what is required of him now?
Answer:
Hajj is 'Arafah, meaning that the greatest pillar of the pillars of Hajj is standing at 'Arafah. It does not mean that standing at 'Arafah is the entirety of Hajj. No, there remains upon him, there remains upon him from Hajj pillars, obligatory acts, and recommended practices. It is not permissible for him to depart except if[Al-Baqarah 2:203] after the day of 'Id, on the twelfth day, if he stoned the pillars on the twelfth day before sunset and left 'Arafah, he has hastened; there is no harm. Yes.
