FASTING THE DAY OF ’ARAFAH


 Image result for Day of Arafah

The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is the day of ’Arafah which will fall on the 23rd of September 2015 inshaAllaah, since it is on this day that the pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of ’Arafah, praying and supplicating to Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى.

It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day, since the Prophet (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) was asked about fasting on the day of ’Arafah, so he said, “It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.” [4]
