The questioner : Is there anything reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the virtue of the Friday Hajj?
The Shaykh : No, nothing has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the virtue of Friday coinciding with the Day of 'Arafah. However, the scholars say that its coinciding with Friday brings good. First, so that the Hajj is like the Hajj of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at 'Arafah on a Friday. Second, because on Friday there is an hour in which no Muslim servant who is standing in prayer and asking Allah for something will not be granted it, so this makes it closer to being answered. Third, because the Day of 'Arafah is a festival and Friday is a festival, so if the two festivals coincide, there is good in that. As for what has become widespread that the Friday Hajj is equivalent to seventy Hajjs, this is not correct. Yes.
