Whatever forms of kissing or touching have not been prescribed for those very places are even more emphatically not prescribed elsewhere, and there is no requirement that what was legislated for those particular sites be legislated for any other.

Among such locations is the dome near the entrance to ʿArafāt that people call the Dome of Adam. By unanimous agreement of the scholars, it is impermissible to seek out that spot for prayer or supplication. Indeed, even climbing the hill at ʿArafāt—known as Jabal al-Raḥmah, though its proper name is Ilāl, pronounced like Hilāl—is, by the same consensus, not a prescribed act.

The Sunnah is simply to stand anywhere within the plain of ʿArafāt: either by the rocks where the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—stood, or anywhere else in ʿArafāt, for he said, “All of ʿArafah is a place of standing; keep away from the valley of ʿUrnah.”

The same ruling applies to all the mosques erected in that area, such as those built near the Jamrah pillars. Next to Masjid al-Khayf, for instance, there is a small mosque called “the Cave of al-Mursalat,” where it is claimed that the surah al-Mursalat was revealed.
