Intending to go to the Mount of Mercy to stand and make supplication amidst the crowd

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people say that I want to follow the Sunnah and stand beside the Hill of Mercy, the Hill of Supplication. Is he correct in doing this, especially given the crowds and the time lost in going back and forth?

Answer:
He should not make things difficult for himself. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
All of 'Arafah is a place of standing,عرفة كلها موقف،
So he should not make things difficult for himself. He should settle in whatever place is convenient for him in 'Arafah, and supplicate to Allah. He should face the qiblah and supplicate to Allah until he departs from 'Arafah, remaining in his place. He should not make things difficult for himself by going to the position of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
