Specific Names for Some of the Days of Dhul-Ḥijjah The 8th of Dhul-Ḥijjah = Yawm At-Tarwiyah The day of drawing water; it is called this because in the past, pilgrims would draw water in Makkah before departing to Minā. The 9th of Dhul-Ḥijjah = Yawm ‘Arafah The Day of ‘Arafah; it is called this because on this day pilgrims go to the plains of ‘Arafah. The 10th of Dhul-Ḥijjah = Yawm An-Nahr The Day of Sacrifice; it is called this because the slaughtering of the hady and udhiyah begins on this day. It is also called Yawm al-Ḥajj Al-Akbar. The Day of the Greater Ḥajj, because many of the rites of Ḥajj are performed on this day. Note: This is the best day of the year, based on the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: «إن أعظم الأيام عند الله تبارك وتعالى: يومُ النحر، ثم يومُ القَرِّ» “The greatest days in the sight of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, are the Day of Sacrifice (Yawm An-Nahr), then the Day of Settling (Yawm Al-Qarr).” [Reported by Abū Dāwūd (1765) from Abdullah ibn Qurt رضي الله عنه; authenticated by Shaykh Muqbil in As-Saheeh Al-Musnad] The 11th of Dhul-Ḥijjah = Yawm Al-Qarr The Day of Settling; it is called this because the pilgrims remain in Minā on this day, staying there without departing.
