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:
It is well known because they used to gather water in it. At that time, there was no water in Mina. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to perform Hajj, they would gather water and take it to Mina. This is the origin of the name Tawriyah. Another reported opinion is that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was shown the sacrifice of his son on the Day of Tawriyah, so he wondered whether it was from Allah or from Satan, and the day was named Tawriyah. However, the well-known and established view is that it was named the Day of Tawriyah because they would gather water, collect it in their water skins, and take it to Mina. Yes.

May Allah reward you?
