Namirah is not part of 'Arafah, according to the stronger of the scholars' opinions

Question: His statement: "Then he came to 'Arafah, and the tent had been pitched for him at Namirah"—does this mean that Namirah is part of 'Arafah?

Answer: There is a difference of opinion on this. Some said it is part of 'Arafah, and others said it is not. The well-known view is that it is not part of 'Arafah; rather, it is in front of 'Arafah and not included in it, which is the stronger opinion.
