May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the Day of 'Arafah is one of the days of Allah. Some people, Shaykh, spend most of this day occupied with cooking and going back and forth, neglecting to devote themselves to this great day.
Answer:
As for necessary tasks, such as cooking, bringing supplies, bringing water, and the like, there is nothing wrong with that; this is cooperation in righteousness and piety.

They should utilize the time, even the one who is busy should utilize his time with the remembrance of Allah, supplication, and humility before Allah the Exalted on this day and in this place. Yes.
