Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with the faxes that have arrived, so that we may see the many tastes of the brothers and sisters and fulfill their wishes. Is the answering of supplication and the virtue of supplication on the Day of 'Arafah, O Shaykh Salih, specific to the pilgrims, or does it include others as well?
Answer:
Supplication on the Day of 'Arafah is general for the pilgrims and others, but the pilgrims are more specifically included, because they are in a noble place, they are in the state of ihram, and they are standing at 'Arafah. So, the confirmation of the virtue of supplication is stronger for them, and the virtue is greater for them than for non-pilgrims. As for the rest of the people who did not perform Hajj, it is prescribed for them to supplicate and strive in this day so that they may share with their pilgrim brothers in this virtue. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3585Da’if (Darussalam) something powerful. So, supplication is prescribed on the Day of 'Arafah, for the pilgrim and for others, but it is more emphatic and better for the pilgrim because of the rites he is engaged in and because of the great, noble place he is in. As for the time and the virtue of the time, the pilgrims and non-pilgrims share in it. As for the place, it is specific to the pilgrims, which is standing at 'Arafah. Yes. May Allah reward you.

The best of supplication is the supplication of the Day of `Arafah. And the best of what I and the Prophets before me have said is: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is
