The Duration of Standing at 'Arafah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the duration of standing at 'Arafah?

Answer:
Being present there while in the state of ihram. Even if it is for a moment, or if he passes through it during the time of standing, from the rising of the sun until the appearance of dawn, the entire period is the time for standing. So if he passes through it while in ihram, at any hour of the night or day, the standing has occurred. However, the one who stands there during the day must continue until the setting of the sun. As for the one who stands there at night, the minimum time in it suffices for him, even if it is merely passing through it. Yes.
