	In the ahadith, wuquf in Arafat is described as the "reality of Hajj" and the "Greatest Hajj" (Hajj Akbar). According to these narrations, the time and place of wuquf in Arafat correspond to the time and place where the repentance of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was accepted. The tradition of wuquf in Arafat dates back to pre-Islamic times. Followers of religions that prescribed pilgrimage have, throughout history, performed wuquf in Arafat during their pilgrimages.

	[[~~Category~~:~~Completed articles~~]]		==Conceptual Understanding and Status==
			The term “Wuquf” literally means standing and stopping, and in the terminology of [[Hajj]], it refers to remaining in a specific place.<ref>Hajj Rituals Textbook, p. 57.</ref> "Wuquf in Arafat" means staying in [[Arafat]] and is the second obligatory act of [[Hajj]].<ref>Dictionary of Hajj and Umrah Terms, p. 275.</ref>

			Wuquf in Arafat is one of the pillars of [[Hajj al-Tamattu’\|Hajj al-Tamattu’]], and if it is not performed, the Hajj becomes invalid. In the narrations, the essence and reality of Hajj is considered to be Arafat itself,<ref>Mustadrak al-Wasa'il, vol. 10, p. 34.</ref> and in some narrations, wuquf in Arafat is called [[Hajj Akbar\|Hajj Akbar]].<ref>Al-Kafi, vol. 4, p. 265.</ref>

			According to the narrations, wuquf in Arafat is regarded as standing before God. Based on these narrations, one of the greatest sins is for a person to be present in Arafat yet think that God has not forgiven him.<ref>Al-Kafi, vol. 4, p. 541, hadith 7; see also: Al-Muraqabat, vol. 2, p. 225.</ref>

			==Historical Background==
			Followers of religions that mandated [[Hajj]] have, throughout all ages, performed wuquf in Arafat during their pilgrimage. Even during the [[Jahiliyyah\|pre-Islamic period]], a group from the [[Jurhum\|Jurhami]] tribe, following the example of [[Prophet Ibrahim (A)]] performed wuquf in Arafat.<ref name=":0">Hajj in Islamic Thought, p. 234, quoting: Akhbar Makkah, Azraqi, vol. 1, p. 117.</ref>

			Some tribes of [[Quraysh]] and [[Jarallah\|residents of Mecca]] refrained from performing wuquf in Arafat.<ref name=":0" /> Even before migrating from [[Mecca]] to [[Medina]], [[Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]] did not perform wuquf with the Quraysh but rather with the people in Arafat.<ref>Hajj in Islamic Thought, p. 235, quoting Akhbar Makkah, Azraqi, vol. 1, p. 195.</ref>
			==Rulings==
			Wuquf in Arafat is obligatory from noon on [[Day of Arafah\|the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah]] until sunset. This wuquf, to the extent that staying there (even for a short time) is fulfilled, is also considered a [[Pillars of Hajj\|pillar of Hajj]], and if it is not performed, the Hajj becomes invalid.<ref>See: Manasik Hajj, pp. 450-451.</ref>
			===Time===
			According to [[Shia]] jurisprudence, the time for wuquf in Arafat is from noon on the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah ([[Day of Arafah\|Arafah]]) until the legal sunset, during which the pilgrim must remain there completely; therefore, it should start a moment before the legal noon and end a moment after the sunset to ensure certainty that the entire time was spent in Arafat. If someone intentionally enters Arafat later, they have sinned, and if they leave before the legal sunset, in addition to sin, they are obliged to offer one camel as expiation.<ref>See: Manasik Hajj, pp. 451-452.</ref>

			According to the [[Hanafi\|Hanafis]], [[Shafi'i\|Shafi'is]] and [[Maliki\|Malikis]], the time for wuquf in Arafat is from the zenith (zawal) of the 9th of Dhu al-Hijjah until dawn of the 10th ([[Eid al-Adha]]). However, the [[Hanbali\|Hanbalis]] consider the time from dawn of the 9th until dawn of the 10th.<ref>Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Khamsa, vol. 1, p. 250.</ref>

			The place of wuquf in Arafat is the desert of [[Arafat]], wherever it may be.

	'''Wuquf ~~at '~~Arafat''' (staying in the land of 'Arafat) is the second ~~obligation~~ of ~~hajj. [['Arafat]] is a well-known place near~~ the ~~holy city of Mecca. Wuquf means being present in the land of 'Arafat~~, ~~no matter whether a person is riding, walking, standing~~, ~~or lying. Wuquf (staying)~~ in ~~the land of 'Arafat is an acts of worship. It should be accompanied by [[intention]].~~		'''Wuquf in Arafat''' (staying in the land of 'Arafat) is the second obligatory rite of Hajj, during which the pilgrim, according to Shia jurisprudence, remains in Arafat from noon until the religious sunset on the day of Arafah. This wuquf, to the extent that staying there (even for a short time) is fulfilled, is also considered one of the essential pillars (arkan) of Hajj. If someone intentionally arrives late to Arafat, they commit a sin; and if they leave earlier than permitted, in addition to sinning, they are required to offer one sheep as kaffara (expiation). In the four Sunni madhhabs as well, the time of this rite is regarded as the day of Arafah, although there is some disagreement among them concerning the precise timing.

	~~==Wuquf==~~
	~~It is based on caution that a person should be in the land of '~~Arafat from ~~time of shar'i~~ noon of the ~~[[9th~~ of ~~Dhu l-Hijja]] until the time for maghrib prayer~~. ~~It is not remote to say one may delay the~~ wuquf ~~a little bit after shar'i noon~~, ~~the time enough to perform zuhr and 'asr prayers together with their preliminaries.~~

	~~The above mentioned wuquf is obligatory from 'noon'~~ to the ~~maghrib prayer. Therefore,~~ even ~~if a person stays there~~ for a ~~part~~ of the ~~mentioned period, his wuquf is correct~~. ~~It is forbidden~~ to ~~exit '~~Arafat ~~before shar'i sunset. Therefore~~, if a ~~person exits this place before sunset intentionally~~ and ~~does not return~~, ~~he/she is considered~~ as ~~disobedient and should pay~~ kaffara ~~of a camel~~. ~~If he cannot slaughter it~~, ~~he should fast for eighteen days. Based on caution, camel slaughtering is to be carried out on~~ the ~~day~~ of ~~[[Eid al-Adha]] at [[Mina]], though it~~ is ~~not remote to say it is not obligatory to slaughter it in Mina. If he/she returns to 'Arafat before sunset, there would be no need of paying kaffara.~~

	~~If a person goes out from~~ the ~~land~~ of ~~'Arafat before sunset forgetfully or ignorantly, it is obligatory to return back upon remembrance before maghrib. In case, he does not come back~~, ~~he/she has committed disobedience. However~~ there is ~~no kaffara on him. If he comes to know it after~~ the ~~end of the time, he has no duty~~.

			In the ahadith, wuquf in Arafat is described as the "reality of Hajj" and the "Greatest Hajj" (Hajj Akbar). According to these narrations, the time and place of wuquf in Arafat correspond to the time and place where the repentance of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him) was accepted. The tradition of wuquf in Arafat dates back to pre-Islamic times. Followers of religions that prescribed pilgrimage have, throughout history, performed wuquf in Arafat during their pilgrimages. Fasting, repentance, recitation of special prayers, and the supplication of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) on the day of Arafah are recommended (mustahabb) acts and etiquettes associated with wuquf in Arafat.
