The ruling on fasting the Day of 'Arafah for one who is not performing Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: There are those who cast doubt on the hadith regarding one who is not performing Hajj.
Answer:
The hadith is valid. Do not pay attention to the doubts of those who cast doubt on it. So, fast the Day of 'Arafah, for it is a great day that is fasted, but for one who is not performing Hajj. The one performing Hajj strengthens himself by breaking his fast for standing [at 'Arafah] and for supplication, and he does not fast on this day. Rather, this is for one who is not performing Hajj: he fasts the Day of 'Arafah. Yes.
