Question:
What is the ruling on one who completes the prayer at 'Arafah?

Answer:
No, the Sunnah is not to complete it; one should not go against the people. The Sunnah is to pray two rak'ahs with the people, for the hand of Allah is with the congregation. This is the apparent Sunnah, so one should not exercise independent legal reasoning (ijtihad) that contradicts the apparent Sunnah. The precaution is to follow the Sunnah.
