Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. He says: We are pilgrims from the Kurdistan region of Iraq. On the Day of Tawriyah, we go directly to 'Arafah without going to Mina. Is this permissible, Your Eminence the Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. It is permissible before the Day of 'Arafah for them to go to 'Arafah, because this is easier for them than staying in Mina on the Day of Tawriyah. Staying in Mina on the Day of Tawriyah is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory. So if it is more comfortable for them to go straight to 'Arafah, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
