The Virtue of the Day of 'Arafah Coinciding with Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Yes, Khalid.
Answer : Yes, it has a virtue, but it is not the virtue that has become famous among the common people, that it is like seventy Hajj pilgrimages. No, its virtue is that the Day of 'Arafah and the weekly festival (Friday) have coincided in it, and that in the last part of this day there is the Hour of Response, and that this Hajj coincided with the Hajj of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). How so? In the text, what was reported? It is weak, but the virtue of this day itself, Friday, is well known. So when the virtue of Friday and the virtue of the Day of 'Arafah coincide, it becomes the best of four.
