Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the meaning of the Day of Tarwiyah? And why is it called by this name?
Answer:
The well-known reason is that they used to gather water on that day. At that time, there was no water in Mina. When people wanted to perform Hajj, they would gather water, collect it, and take it to Mina. This is the original basis for the name Tarwiyah. Another reported account states that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was shown the slaughter of his son on the Day of Tarwiyah, so he pondered whether it was from Allah or from Satan, and it was named the Day of Tarwiyah. However, the well-known and established view is that it is called the Day of Tarwiyah because they gather water, draw it from their wells, collect it in their containers, and take it to Mina. Yes.
The presenter:
There is no name. May Allah reward you?
