Benefits Regarding Dhul-Hijjah

Allaah swore by the 10 nights of Dhul-Hijjah as Allaah, the Most High, said:

وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ

By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah).

[Al-Quraan 89:2]

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said about this Verse:

"The ten nights' refers to the (first) ten of Dhul-Hijjah. This was said by Ibn `Abbaas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujaahid and others among the Salaf and the latter generations."

Ibnul-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Verily the dawn of the ten nights is a time period that contains actions that are magnified by rituals & magnified places, and it is from the rites of Allaah which entails humility of a servant to his Lord for verily Hajj and its rites is a worship solely for Allaah which necessitates humility and submission to his his greatness, and these traits are the opposite of the traits of the people of 'Aad, Thamuud & Pharaoh from that which they had from haughtiness, arrogance and pomposity.

Those nations were a transgressive people who were too prideful to carry out the commands of their Lord, so a time period which contains such righteous actions is deserving to be sworn upon by the mighty and Majestic Lord".

[Badaa'I At-Tafseer, Vol. 3, Pg. 296]

It Is Considered To Be From The Forty Days That Allaah Appointed Muusaa عليه السلام With

وَوَاعَدْنَا مُوسَىٰ ثَلَاثِينَ لَيْلَةً وَأَتْمَمْنَاهَا بِعَشْرٍ فَتَمَّ مِيقَاتُ رَبِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً

And We appointed for Muusaa (Moses) thirty nights and added (to the period) ten (more), and he completed the term, appointed by his Lord, of forty nights.

[Al-Quraan 7:142]

Imaam As-Sa'dee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Once Allaah completed his blessing upon them and saved them from thier enemy, and gave them succession in the land, Allaah Intended to complete his favour upon them by revealing to them a book in which was the legislative rulings and praiseworthy creed, so he appointed to Muusaa عليه السلام thirty night's and completed it with another ten so it became forty to prepare Muusaa عليه السلام for the promise of Allaah, so that it's revelation becomes one of great significance amongst them (bani Israaeel) and that he (Muusaa) becomes in a state of anticipation for it."

[Tafseer As-Sa'dee, Pg. 280]

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Indeed the interpreters of the Quraan have differed with regards to these ten (mentioned in the Verse) and what they are. The majority (of scholars) say the thirty are Dhul-Qa'dah and the ten are Dhul-Hijjah. This was stated by Mujaahid, Masrooq & Ibn 'Abbaas. So upon this, Muusaa عليه السلام completed his appointed term by the day of An-Nahr (the day of slaughtering) and this is when Muusaa عليه السلام was spoken to by Allaah."

[Tafseer Ibn Katheer - Verse 7:142]

If You Intend To Sacrifice During The Ten Days Of Dhul-Hijjah, Do Not Cut Your Hair Or Trim Your Nails

Ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, may Allah preserve him, said :

حلق الشعر وتقليم الأظافر لا يجوزان في عشر ذي الحجة لمن أراد أن يضحي، أو أن يأخذ شيئًا من شعره أو أظافره في عشر ذي الحجة، حتى يذبح أضحيته؛ لنهيه صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ذلك ‏؛ كما في حديث أسماء رضي الله عنها، أما مجرد تسريح الشعر الذي لا يحصل معه زوال شيء من الشعر؛ فلا بأس به‏.

“Cutting the hair and trimming the nails is not allowed for the one who intends to make a sacrifice during the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. (Similarly), or to remove any piece of hair from himself or from his nails during the ten days. (This is) until he slaughters his sacrifice due to the prohibition of the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa salam from that, as comes in the hadeeth of Asmaa, may Allah be pleased with her. As for hairstyling only which doesn’t cause pieces of the hair to fall off, then that is okay”

Reference: Muntaqaa min Fataawa al-Fawzaan

Translated by

AbdulFattaah bin Uthman
Abu Fajr

Question:

Regarding not cutting one’s hair, does this also apply to the family members if a sacrifice is made on behalf of the family by the father?


Answer:

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:

وهذا الحكم خاص بمن يضحّي، أما المضحَّى عنه فلا يتعلق به؛ لأن النبي قال: { وأراد أحدكم أن يضحي… } ولم يقل: أو يضحّى عنه؛ ولأن النبي كان يضحّي عن أهل بيته، ولم يُنقل عنه أنه أمرهم بالإمساك عن ذلك

This ruling is specific to the one slaughtering. As for the one whom the slaughter is made on behalf of, then it’s not connected with him, because the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم said “if one you wishes to slaughter” and he didn’t say “or the one whom on his behalf it’s being slaughtered”. The prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم would slaughter on behalf of the people of his house and it wasn’t relayed from him that he commanded them with withholding from that [taking hair, etc]

The Excellence Of Fasting On The Day Of 'Arafah

The ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is the day of ’Arafah, since it is on this day that the pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of ’Arafah, praying and supplicating to their Lord.

It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day, since the Prophet (sallAllaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) was asked about fasting on the day of ’Arafah, so he said (translated meaning), “It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.” [Saheeh Muslim, No 1162].

Likewise, the Prophet (sallAllaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said (translated meaning), "There is no day on which Allaah frees people from the Fire more so than on the day of ’Arafah. He comes close to those (people standing on ’Arafah), and then He revels before His Angels saying, ‘What are these people seeking.” [Saheeh Muslim, No. 1348].

Imaam At-Tirmithee, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said, “The people of knowledge consider it recommended to fast on the day of ’Arafah, except for those at ’Arafah.” [Refer to Jaami'ut-Tirmithee, 3/377].

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih Al-'Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, was asked: "What is the ruling on fasting the day of ‘Arafah for non-pilgrims and pilgrims?"

He replied: "Fasting on the day of ‘Arafah for non-pilgrims is a confirmed Sunnah. The Messenger of Allaah, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was asked about fasting on the day of ‘Arafah and he said (translated meaning): “I ask Allaah that it may expiate for (the sins of) the year that comes before it and the year that comes after it.” According to another report he said (translated meaning): “It expiates for the past and coming years.”

As for the pilgrim, it is not Sunnah for him to fast on the day of ‘Arafah, because the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, did not fast on the day of ‘Arafah during the farewell pilgrimage. In Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree it is narrated from Maymuunah, may Allaah be pleased with her, that the people were not sure whether the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was fasting on the day of ‘Arafah, so she sent him some milk when he was standing in ‘Arafah, and he drank it whilst the people were looking on."

[Majmuu’ Al-Fataawaa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, Part 20, Question no. 404].

A Detailed Explanation Of The Day Of 'Arafah (9th Dhul-Hijjah) & What To Do On This Day

Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) said:

“For verily the Day of ‘Arafah is the ninth day of the blessed Dhul-Hijjah and it is the day of standing at ‘Arafah by the pilgrims and performing the greatest pillar. As the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Hajj is ‘Arafah”. That is, that the greatest pillar of Hajj is standing at ‘Arafah due to what it has of virtue, honor, and status with Allah, the Exalted. It is a blessed day. He (ﷺ) said:

“The best supplication is the supplication on the day of ‘Arafah. The best of what I said and the Prophets before me is: There is no Deity worthy of worship in truth except Allah alone without a partner, to Him is the kingdom and to Him is all praise. And He is over all things Omnipotent”.

So the pilgrims stand on this day of ‘Arafah to perform the greatest pillar of the pillars of Hajj. And it is the day which Allah completed the religion and Allah revealed to His Messenger (ﷺ) saying:

“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion”

[5:3]

Those who are not pilgrims should increase in the remembrance of Allah with Takbir, Tasbeeh, Tahleel, and fast on this day. He (ﷺ) said:

“Fasting the Day of Arafah expiates the sins of the year before and the year after it” or as the Prophet (ﷺ) said”.

So the one who is not a pilgrim, he fasts the day of ‘Arafah. As for the pilgrim, then he does not fast in order to have strength to stand on ‘Arafah and devote himself to supplication. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not fast on the Day of ‘Arafah, rather he drank [something] and the people saw him on his riding animal until they knew that he was not fasting. So it is not recommended to fast on the Day of ‘Arafah for the pilgrim. It is only recommended for the one who is not a pilgrim.

Standing at ‘Arafah has its time and its place. As for its time, then it begins from the Zawwal of the sun, the entering of Dhuhr, according to the correct opinion of the Scholars. It begins with the entering of Dhuhr and extends until the emergence of Fajr on the night of Eid. Whoever stands from the day, then he continues until night and he does not leave until the sun sets as the Prophet (ﷺ) did. He (ﷺ) continued to remain standing until the sun set. He determined the sunset, then he went to Muzdalifah. If a person leaves before the sunset, it is necessary for him to return and remain until the sunset. If he does not return, then a fidyah is due upon him. This is because he left off an obligation from the obligations of Hajj, which is standing until sunset. So standing at ‘Arafah is a pillar. As for standing until sunset for the one who is standing at day, then it is obligatory. Whoever misses standing, then he has missed Hajj. Whoever does not stand from the day until the sunset, then he missed an obligation, which is continuing to stand until sunset. A fidyah is upon such a person. For this is the time for standing.

As for the one who stands at night. he comes to ‘Arafah at night, then it is sufficient for him any time of standing, even for a short time. He stands at ‘Arafah, supplicates, and then leaves. Even if the standing is little. Even if he passes it, intending to stand. Even if he passes it and he is a pilgrim. Even if he does not know [where it is], if he is in a state of ihram, and he is eager to stand at ‘Arafah and he searches for it and passes it, as a pilgrim, then he has performed the standing by passing it in the time of standing. This is in terms of the time period. In terms of the place, then ‘Arafah has clear boundaries, well-known pillars, and written signs that tell the boundaries of all the place. So it is upon the pilgrims to be certain to enter within the boundaries and the erected signs. In any place he finds [space] in ‘Arafah, then the standing occurs for them. In any place from the plain of ‘Arafah.
He (ﷺ) said: “I stood here, that is near the mountain and the rocks – and all of ‘Arafah is a place to stand. So keep away from the valley of ‘Uranah”.

So all of ‘Arafah is a place of standing. So there is no need for the pilgrim to go to the mountain and ascend the mountain and burden himself and those with him from the elderly, young ones, and the sick. There is nothing that calls for this and it is not Legislated. Rather in any place the pilgrim finds, and all praise is due to Allah, and he is in the state of Ihram on the plain of ‘Arafah, then he has fulfilled what is desired and Legislated for him. So he relaxes in his place and devotes himself to the remembrance of Allah and supplication. The pilgrims pray Dhuhr and ‘Asr in ‘Arafah, shortening and combining them in the time of Dhuhr [جمع التقديم] in order to devote themselves for supplication and worship. It is upon the pilgrims to strive in supplication and supplicate whether riding or standing on his feet or sitting or lying down. He supplicates in any situation he is in during the time of supplication. He strives in supplication and he has urgency in his supplication, perhaps Allah, the Exalted will answer him. He supplicates for himself, for his parents, for his brothers from the fellow Muslims, the living and the dead. He increases in supplication and is submissive due to the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ):

“The best supplication is the supplication of ‘Arafah”.

It is the best of supplications. So a Muslim strives in supplication in this time: between the Zawaal until the sunset if he is standing during the day.

He increases in supplication and he should not be heedless. He should not busy himself in what is not beneficial from engaging conversation, argument, and wasting time. There is not preventative from conversation, however to a limit. The amount that is necessary. The amount that does not waste a lot of the time of the Muslim. Rather he should use most of his time in supplication and remembering Allah, the Exalted in this blessed time. It is authentic in the Hadith that Allah boasts to the Angels with the people of ‘Arafah, on the eve of ‘Arafah saying:

“Look at my servants who come to me disheveled and dusty from every place. I bear witness that I have forgiven them. Disperse, you are forgiven and those whom you intercede for”.

This is a bounty from Allah and indicates the bounty of this day and the bounty of this blessed hour. On this day, Allah, the Exalted descends to the lowest heaven, boasting to the Angels about the pilgrims who are found in this place, in obedience to Allah, hoping for His reward, fearing his punishment. This is a great bounty and open display from the great displays. They are not driven for the desire of the worldly life nor driven by the ruler. They are only driven by Imaan. They came with a great longing, turning their hearts towards these places, not out of greed for the worldly life, nor fear from the creation. They only came out of fear for Allah, the Exalted, hoping for His reward, and desire for His forgiveness”

When To Make Takbeer When The Day Of 'Arafah Comes

Shaykh Bin Baaz, rahimahullah, said:

“It is narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) and a group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to recite Takbir following each of the five Salahs from Fajr (Dawn) Prayer on the day of Arafah until the Asr (Afternoon) Prayer on the thirteenth day of Dhul-Hijjah. This is applied to those who do not perform Hajj.” End quote. [Reference]

Ibn Rajab, rahimahullah, said:

؛ فاتفق العلماء على أنه يُشرع التكبير عقيبَ الصلوات في هذه الأيام في الجملة،

” …The scholars have come to the agreement in general that it is legislated to perform takbir after the five daily prayers during these days…”. End quote. [Fathul Baari, Ibn Rajab’s explanation of Saheeh al-Bukhaari]

A Note: Ash-Shaykh Bin Baaz, Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen, and Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan see that a person should utter this takbir that is done at the end of the obligatory prayer once he completes saying istighfar three times and after saying, “Allahumma Anta as-Salaam wa Minka as-Salaam…”.
