*Please appropriately reference this
fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it permissible for the one
performing Hajj to perform supererogatory prayers after having
offered Salaat
az-Zhuhr and Salaat
al-'Asr with the imaam
on the Day of 'Arafah
(9 Dhul-Hijjah)
until the time of sunset.?
Response:
The Messenger (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) did not perform any supererogatory
prayers on the Day of 'Arafah
after having offered Salaat
az-Zhuhr and Salaat
al-'Asr combined and at the time of Zhuhr
(jam'u taqdeem). And if it was legislated then he would have
been more careful about performing them than us, and good
and all good is in adhering to following his Sunnah.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
