Is there greater virtue if standing at 'Arafah falls on a Friday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Layla : Yes, my teacher; another thing I hear from some people regarding standing at 'Arafah on a Friday, as if there is more virtue.
The Shaykh : The greater virtue is established by deduction, considering the convergence of two festivals: the Friday festival and the festival of standing at 'Arafah. However, there is a hadith circulated among the common people that if standing at 'Arafah coincides with Friday, it is equivalent to seventy Hajj pilgrimages; this has no basis.
Abu Layla : It has no basis.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Abu Layla : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
Abu Layla : My teacher, a question from one of the brothers.
