Staying at Arafat is the second obligatory Rites of Hajj and it means “staying at the desert of Arafat”. <ref>Fikrī, ''Farhang-i Iṣṭilāḥāt-i  Ḥajj wa ʿUmra'', P. 275.</ref> According to Shia jurists, the time of staying in Arafat is from noon on the ninth day of Dhu l-Hijja (day of Arafa) until sunset, which is the time of Maghrib prayer. <ref>Fallāḥzādih, ''Darsnāma-yi manāsik-i Ḥajj'', p. 58.</ref> In the four Sunni denominatons, the time of this Rite is considered to be the day of Arafa; Of course, there is a difference between these denominatons in its exact time.<ref>Murwārīd, ''Al-Maṣādir al-fiqhīyya'', vol. 10, p.33; Ṭūsī, ''Al-Khilāf'', vol. 1, p. 453; Sābiq, ''Fiqh al-sunna'', vol. 1, p. 522; Ḥillī, ''Tadhkirat al-fuqahāʾ'', vol. 8, p. 177; Pīshih fard, ''Darāmadī bar fiqh-i Muqārin'', p. 387; Jazīrī, ''Al-Fiqh ʿalā al-madhāhib al-arbaʿa'', Vol. 1, p. 597,599; Mughnīya, ''Al-Fiqh ʿalā al-madhāhib al-khamsa'', vol. 1, p.378.</ref>

For a pilgrim who does not feel weak in praying, it is recommended to fast on this day. Being pure, bathing and standing at the bottom of the mountain and on flat ground are other mustahabbs of standing in Arafat.[14. Fallāḥzāda, Muḥammad Ḥusayn. Darsnāma-yi manāsik Ḥajjp.59]
