The Legislated Method: It is perfectly permissible—and encouraged—for an individual to strive in Du'a, Dhikr, seeking forgiveness, and performing righteous deeds on the Day of Arafah, whether in thei
The virtue of the day applies to those at Arafat and those elsewhere, so one should combine the virtue of fasting with individual supplication, provided they avoid intentionally imitating the pilgrims' gathering and standing at 'Arafah.

"الإبهاج بحكم التعريف لغير الحاج"
Written By Sheikh Salman Al-'Imad hafidhahullah

A Day that Cannot be Compensated!
Imam An-nawawi rahimahullah said:
فهذا اليوم أفضل أيام السنة للدعاء؛ فينبغي أن يستفرغ الإنسان وسعه في الذكر والدعاء وفي قراءة القرآن، وأن يدعو بأنواع الأدعية، ويأتي بأنواع الأذكار، ويدعو لنفسه ووالديه وأقاربه ومشايخه وأصحابه وأصدقائه وأحبابه وسائر مَن أحسن إليه وجميع المسلمين؛ وليحذر كل الحذر من التقصير في ذلك كله؛ فإن هذا اليوم لا يمكن تداركه.

Can Good Deeds Expiate Major Sins?
There are three main opinions on this issue:
1️⃣ Good deeds only expiate minor sins. As for major sins, they are only expiated through sincere repentance. This is the view of the majority of scholars.
2️⃣ Good deeds expiate all sins, both minor and major. This is the view of Ibn al-Mundhir, Ibn Hazm, and others.
3️⃣ Good deeds can expiate major sins if they are accompanied by a…
Fasting The Day of 'Arafah
Scholars explain the expiation of “the coming year’s sins” in one of three ways:
1⃣. Protection and preservation: Allah protects and guards you from falling into sins and mistakes during that year.
2⃣. Forgiveness of future minor sins: Allah forgives the minor sins that you may fall into during that year before they even occur, so that your record remains clean and pure.
3⃣. An…
"Say, ‘Hellfire is hotter.’ If only they understood!" [Surah At-Tawbah: 81]
This heat we’re experiencing should serve as a small reminder of the heat of Hellfire.

«“The Fire complained to its Lord, saying: ‘O Lord, parts of me have consumed other parts.’ So Allah allowed it two breaths: one breath in the winter and one…

Did the Prophet ﷺ Perform Hajj Before Islam?
During our reading of Al-Fiqhul Muyassar, the authors mentioned (p. 172):
"النبي ﷺ لم يحج بعد هجرته إلى المدينة إلا حجة واحدة"
“The Prophet ﷺ performed Hajj only once after his migration to Madinah.”
From this statement, we can derive two benefits:

Assisting Poor Muslims is Better Than Voluntary Hajj
Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak once set out on a journey for Hajj. Along the way, he saw a woman searching through a garbage heap and taking a dead animal from it.
He asked her why she was doing that.
She replied, “My sister and I have nothing at all to live on. Because of our severe poverty, this has become lawful for us.”
He then asked his companion, “How much money…
A sister asked:
I heard that it is invalid to perform the Udhiyah overseas, and that if it is done there, it only counts as a general act of charity. Is this true?
Answer:
There is no doubt that the Sunnah is to slaughter the Udhiyah in one’s own country, and this contains many benefits:

However, to say that performing it overseas renders the Udhiyah invalid is not correct.

For some time, a number of family members have been asking me to help arrange a well project as sadaqah jariyah for themselves or loved ones who have passed away.
I reached out to contacts in Yemen, Somalia, and Kenya, but the quotes I received were in the region of £10,000 or more. Although the well itself was relatively inexpensive, I was informed that purchasing the land was also required, which significantly…

Answer:
