Ascending Mount al-Rahmah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it part of the Sunnah to ascend Mount al-Rahmah?

Answer:
No. It is not part of the Sunnah, nor is going to it, nor looking at it. It has no special status. All of 'Arafah is a place of standing, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
1 have stayed here (near these rocks), and the whole of Arafat is a place for stay.وقفت ها هنا، وعرفة كلها موقف
Sahih Muslim 1218c
, and keep clear of the valley of 'Arafah. This is not specific to the mountain or to ascending it. Even if you did not see the mountain, did not go to it, and did not know where it is, this would not diminish your Hajj in any way, as long as you stood in 'Arafah.
