Go to Arafah - (after Fajr prayer on Dhul-Hijjah 9)

This is the Day of Arafah. After Fajr Prayer at Mina move to Arafah.

Staying at Arafah is among the pillars of Hajj, without which the Hajj is invalid.

The prophet said: "The Hajj is Arafah" (Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi)

The day of Arafah is a most blessed day. Therein multitudes of pilgrims throng to the plain of Arafat where the Muslims will remain until after sunset. The entire plain of Arafah is a standing place. It is better to remain standing but sitting down is also allowed.

Arafah surely reminds one of the Day of Judgment wherein every human being created by God will have to stand before him and is answerable to him.

On that day Allah boasts of them to his angels.

Prophet said:
"There is no day on which Allah frees as many of His servants from the fire as on the day of Arafah. Indeed He draws near and then boasts of them to the angels and says, "What do they want?""

It is a Sunnah to stop at Masjid-e-Namrah at noon at Dhuhr time and hear the speech if possible. Otherwise make sure that one is inside the border of Arafah, as indicated by various road signs.

At noon time, the imam delivers a speech to the people. Then he leads them in the Dhuhr and Asr prayers, which is joined and shortened, with one Adhan and two Iqamahs as the Prophet did.

The supplications should be done facing the Kaabah. One should leave Arafah only after the sun sets.

Go to Muzdalifah (after sunset on 9th Dhul-Hijjah)

After the sun sets on the 9th Dhul-Hijjah the caravans of pilgrims begin moving towards al-Mashar al-Haram (which is a hill) in Muzdalifah to pray the Maghrib and Isha prayers joined and shortened, with one Adhan and two Iqamahs as soon as they arrive.
The Sunnah practice is to spend the night in Muzdalifah and pray the Fajr prayer there. But it is permissible for women, children and the weak and their caretakers to leave for Mina after midnight.
