Arriving at 'Arafah with the setting of the sun
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I arrived at 'Arafah with the setting of the sun due to the crowd. Is there a fidyah (ransom payment) on me for that?
Answer:
No, if he arrives with the setting of the sun and remains there, even for a moment of the night, that is sufficient. For one who stands there at night, it is sufficient even if he is just passing through 'Arafah. As for the daytime, if he stands there during the day, he must remain until the setting of the sun.
