Standing at 'Arafah until the setting of the sun
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Second question: If one stands at 'Arafah during the day, is it obligatory for him to remain until the sun sets?
Yes, it is obligatory for him to remain until the sun sets.The evidence for this: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at 'Arafah until sunset and said: "Take from me your rituals". Also, because departing from 'Arafah before sunset resembles the practice of the polytheists, for the polytheists used to stand at 'Arafah and depart before sunset. So whoever departs before sunset has agreed with the practice of the polytheists and opposed the practice of the Master of the Messengers (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).
