As an obligatory precaution, it is necessary to be in the Land of Arafat from the sunset of the ninth day until sunset, and what is meant by “staying” is staying there. Now, whether he sits, walks, or sleeps does not matter. Of course, if he is asleep or unconscious during this entire period, his stay is invalid. Therefore, it is necessary to delay from the beginning of Zuhr. If it is short, for example, the length of Zuhr and Asr prayers that he prays one after the other, it is not known whether it is forbidden.

Issue: Although staying in the entire period from Zuhr to Maghrib is obligatory, it is not the entire Rukn that invalidates the Hajj by leaving it. So if he stops for a short period and leaves, or comes towards Asr and stops, his Hajj is valid, even if his failure to stop for the entire time was deliberate and intentional. What is included in the stay in the Rukn is the amount of time that it is said that he was in Arafat, even if it is for a minute or two. So if he does not go to Arafat at all, he has left the Rukn.

Issue: If he knowingly and intentionally leaves out the amount of standing that is a pillar, his Hajj is invalid and it is not sufficient for such a person to stand on the night of Eid, which is an emergency standing. However, if due to an excuse such as forgetfulness, he could not stand even the amount of standing in Arafat, it is sufficient for such a person who has an excuse to stand on the night of Eid, even if it is a small amount, and this is called an emergency standing, and the first is voluntary standing. And if he leaves out this amount of standing on the night intentionally, his Hajj is invalid. However, if he leaves this also due to an excuse, forgetfulness, or negligence and ends up with a voluntary standing, his Hajj is valid.

Issue: If someone intentionally and knowingly leaves Arafat for Hajj before sunset and does not return until sunset, he must sacrifice a camel in the way of God, wherever he wants. If he does not have the power to sacrifice, he must fast for eighteen days and his Hajj will be valid. If he does this out of ignorance or by mistake, there is no expiation, and in any case, it will not harm the essence of Hajj.
