Courtesies in Ihram during Wuquf at Arafat

Whatever has been stated above in respect of the courtesies in a state of ihram during Umrah, apply equally to a state of ihram in Hajj. When one has worn the ihram for Hajj and departed from Makkah, one must say the talbiyah on the way but not in a loud voice till one reaches Abtah when it must be said aloud. When one heads for Mina, one should say: (O Allah! I place all my hopes in You and supplicate to You. Fulfil my hopes and put my actions in order).

Then proceed to Mina peacefully and with respect, engrossed in remembrance of Allah; on reaching there, say: (All praise is due to Allah who brought me to Mina in sound health and got me thus far).

Then say: (O Allah! this is Mina where You have graced us with performance of ceremonies. I beseech You for the grace You have bestowed on Your Prophets, for I am one of Your servants and in Your power).

It is recommended that the eve of Arafat be spent in Mina in worship; its preferred form is prayer in the Mosque at Kheef. After dawn, one must continue in prayer till sunrise and then move to Arafat. There is no objection to departing from Mina before sunrise. When one turns to Arafat, one should say: (O Allah! I turn to You, repose trust in You and seek Your pleasure. I beseech You to bless my journey, fulfil my wishes and include me among those superior to me whom You honour today).

When one should say the talbiyah till one reaches Arafat.
