Passing the Miqat and Spending the Eighth Day of Dhu al-Hijjah at 'Arafah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 13866 )
Q: I traveled from my home in Najd after Ramadan in the year 1373 AH with the intention of performing Hajj. I was ignorant of the matters of Hajj. When I reached Madinah al-Munawwarah near Madinah al-Munawwarah , I boarded a car and reached Jeddah via 'Usfan without entering the state of ihram and without passing through Makkah . After arriving in Jeddah , I entered the state of ihram from there and performed 'Umrah. Then I returned to Jeddah until the time for Hajj came. Then I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah for Hajj as well. When I arrived in Makkah al-Mukarramah on the 7th of Dhu al-Hijjah, 1373 AH, I walked and passed Makkah and Mina . I prayed the Dhuhr prayer on the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah in Masjid Namirah at 'Arafah . I spent the night of the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah in 'Arafah until it became the day of 'Arafah . I spent the entire day of 'Arafah there and performed the farewell tawaf with the people. My question: Is there anything required of me for passing the Miqat and spending the eighth day instead of the ninth at 'Arafah ? Please inform me, may Allah reward you with good.
A : It is obligatory for you to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) for passing the Miqat without entering the state of ihram. The fidyah is a sheep
that is sufficient as an 'Id sacrifice, to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor of the Haram . If you do not find one, you must fast for ten days. There is nothing required of you for not staying overnight on the night of 'Arafah in Mina . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
