Question No. 37:
At what time should the pilgrim proceed to Arafat? And at what time should he depart from there? Answer No. 37: The pilgrim should proceed to Arafat after Sunrise on the day of Arafat, the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah. He should perform Dhuhr and Asr prayers together in advance with Qasr (shortening) by one Adhan and two Iqamats following the example of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) and his companions (Radhi Allahu Anhum)
The pilgrim should halt at Arafat till Sunset praising Allah, praying to Him and reading the Qur’an and uttering Talbeyah. He should utter the following supplication:
"There is no deity (ILAH) except Allah, The One without any partner. For Him is the dominion and for Him is the praise, and He is the powerful over every thing. Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah. There is no deity (ILAH) except Allah. There is no power, no might but with Allah".
He should raise his hands upward in praying and praising Allah. He should send blessing to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) before prayer and make his face toward Qiblah. All sides of Arafat are valid for halting. After the sunset, the pilgrim should proceed to Muzdalifah with calmness and veneration reciting Talbeyah more and more. After reaching Muzdalifah he should perform Maghrib and Isha prayers together in late with one Adhan and two Iqamats, three Rakats for Magrib and Two Rakats for Isha.
