The Day of Tarwiyah and the Reason for Its Name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Day of Tarwiyah is one of the days of Allah. What are the prescribed deeds on this day? And why is it called the Day of Tarwiyah?
Answer:
It is called the Day of Tarwiyah because they used to quench their thirst with water on it, carrying water with them when they went out to Mina and to 'Arafah, because there was no water available in the sacred sites at that time. As for today, praise be to Allah, water is available in the sacred sites, and the government, may Allah guide it, has provided it for them, so there is no need to carry water. But the name remains as it is; the eighth day is called the Day of Tarwiyah because they used to quench their thirst with water on it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
