Answer Details

Those who are not Pilgrims are advised to fast on the day of Arafat. Arafat is the day before Eid al-Adha, which is the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. It is the day when the pilgrims performing Hajj gather at the plain of Arafat, seeking forgiveness and mercy from Allah. Even those who are not performing Hajj are encouraged to fast on this day as it is considered a virtuous act that expiates sins and earns great rewards.
