Question: A person participated in the rites of Hajj, but his work prevented him from standing at 'Arafah during the day. Is it permissible for him to stand after the people have departed at night? How long must he stand? And if he passes through 'Arafah in his car, is that sufficient for him?
Answer: The time for standing at 'Arafah extends from the dawn of the ninth day to the dawn of the Day of Sacrifice. If a pilgrim is unable to stand on the day of the ninth, and he stands at night after the departure, that suffices for him, even if he does not stand at 'Arafah until the end of the night before dawn. A few minutes suffice for him. Likewise, if he passes through 'Arafah while driving in his car, that suffices for him. However, it is better for him to be present at the time when the people stand and to join them in supplication on the evening of 'Arafah. He should strive for humility and the presence of the heart, and hope for what they hope for, namely the descent of mercy and the attainment of forgiveness.
If he misses the day and stands at night, it is better for him to stand as early as he can. He should descend to 'Arafah, even if only for a short time, and extend his hands to his Lord, supplicating to Him. Then he should go with them to Muzdalifah and remain there until the end of the night. He should pray Fajr there, and then increase in dhikr and supplication, facing the qiblah and raising his hands, until it becomes light. Then he should depart with the people to Mina before the sun rises, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this.
