Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the pilgrim to delay entering the state of ihram for Hajj until the sun sets on the Day of 'Arafah, while he is able to enter the state of ihram and stand at 'Arafah during the day? And is his Hajj valid with this delay?
Answer:
Yes, his Hajj is valid, but he misses a great deal of reward on the Day of 'Arafah, including the supplication and the standing; he misses all of this. Otherwise, the Hajj is valid if he enters the state of ihram before the dawn of the night of the tenth and passes by 'Arafah before the dawn breaks; his ihram is valid and his standing is also valid, but he misses the great reward that began from the sun passing its zenith on the ninth day. All of this is missed by him.
