Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This questioner says in her question: Which is better, the Day of Sacrifice or the Day of 'Arafah?

Answer:
Both days have virtue. The Day of 'Arafah is the day of Hajj; it is the greatest pillar of Hajj. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hajj is 'Arafah." It is a great day. The Day of 'Id, the Day of Sacrifice, is also a great day in which the rites are performed. It is the greatest day of Hajj, in which the rites are performed, including stoning the pillars, circumambulation of the Ka'bah, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, shaving the head, shortening the hair, and slaughtering the sacrificial animal for Allah. It is the greatest day of Hajj, possessing great virtue. Yes.
