The acts of Hajj on the Day of 'Arafah and the Day of Tarwiyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What are the acts that follow on the Day of Tarwiyah and likewise on the Day of 'Arafah?
The Shaykh:
The acts on the Day of 'Arafah are standing at 'Arafah, meaning one must verify its boundaries and stand with the Muslims, avoiding what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited standing in, which is the Valley of 'Urnah. One stands with the Muslims, and it has clear and distinct boundaries, so one must be within them. This is the first thing. Second, one occupies the time of his standing with obedience to Allah and worship of Allah through speech and action, the remembrance of Allah, the talbiyah, tasbih, and tahlil, because he is in a great act of worship, so nothing should be introduced into it that disturbs it, distorts it, or affects it. Yes.
The questioner:
As for the Day of Tarwiyah.
The Shaykh:
The Day of Tarwiyah is the eighth day of Hajj, which precedes 'Arafah. It is called the Day of Tarwiyah because the people, in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and after him, used to transport water to Mina and to 'Arafah, because there is no water there, so they carried water with them to these sacred sites out of their need for it.
And as for today, praise be to Allah, this wise government has provided water everywhere in 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina, so water is available, praise be to Allah, even on the roads. They walk and have the provided cold water, drinking from it and purifying themselves with it. Yes.
