Virtues of the Day of Arafaah

The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah.
He said, It expiates for the sins of the previous year
and of the coming year.”
Narrated by Muslim.

This (fasting) is mustahabb for those who are not on Hajj. In the case of the one who is on Hajj, it is not Sunnah for him to fast on the Day of ‘Arafaah, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast on this day in ‘Arafaah. It was narrated that he forbade fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah in ‘Arafaah.
