Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "What is specific to those places is not to be analogized to other places, and what is not prescribed in them is even less likely to be prescribed in other places. We have deduced that what is not prescribed there, such as kissing and touching, is even less likely to be prescribed in other places. It is not necessary that what is prescribed in other places be like what is prescribed in those places. Among such things is the dome at the gate of 'Arafah, which is said to be the dome of Adam. It is not prescribed to visit it for prayer and supplication, by the consensus of the scholars. Indeed, climbing the mountain in 'Arafah, which is called the Mountain of Mercy, and whose name is Ilaal, on the pattern of Hilal, is not prescribed by their consensus. Rather, the Sunnah is to stand at 'Arafah".
The Shaykh : The dome at 'Arafah has no trace now; it does not exist. As for the mountain in 'Arafah, the Shaykh al-Islam says that it is called the Mountain of Mercy. The jurists, or many of them, also referred to it as the Mountain of Mercy. The correct view is that it should not be described by this name, but rather called by its name, Ilaal, or called the Mountain of 'Arafah, or the mountain at the standing place, or something similar. As for the Mountain of Mercy, the Tawaf is more deserving of mercy than that place. The Ka'bah is not called the Ka'bah of Mercy; the Ka'bah is not called the Ka'bah of Mercy. This name was used by some of the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not refer to this mountain by this name. Yes.
