Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We would like to perform Hajj this year, but our work circumstances prevent us, and we work in the Haram. Is it permissible for us to stand at 'Arafah at night? Please inform us; may Allah reward you. First,
Answer:
A worker who is hired for this work is not permitted to perform Hajj unless the one who hired him allows it. If he is allowed to perform Hajj, there is no harm. Standing at night is also permissible until the dawn of the tenth day breaks. This night is attached to the ninth day. It is permissible for a person to stand in it until before the dawn breaks, because the standing begins from the disappearance of the sun on the Day of 'Arafah and extends until the dawn of the following day. If you stand on the night of the tenth day before the dawn breaks, you have stood at 'Arafah, and praise be to Allah.
