Then, if the pilgrim is performing tamattuʿ, he trims hair from all over his head and leaves the state of consecration, provided he has no sacrificial animal with him; otherwise he remains in ihram until he has completed his Hajj.

When the mutamattiʿ (pilgrim performing tamattuʿ) begins ṭawāf he stops the talbiyah, though softly pronouncing it during the ṭawāf of arrival is unobjectionable.

Chapter: The Procedure of Hajj

It is recommended for anyone who is out of ihram and is in Mecca or its vicinity to enter ihram for Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah (the 8th of Dhu’l-Ḥijjah) before the sun reaches its zenith, although entering ihram from any place will suffice.

He then spends the night at Mina as a sunnah; when the sun rises he proceeds to Namira and there performs the noon and afternoon prayers combined at the time of noon.

After that he comes to ʿArafah—every part of it is a valid place of standing except the floor of the valley of ʿUrana. It is sunnah to stand mounted near the rocks at the Mount of Mercy without climbing it.

He should engage abundantly in supplication and repeatedly say:

“There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise; He gives life and causes death, and He is the Ever-Living who never dies. All good is in His hand (1) and He has power over everything. O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my sight, and light in my hearing, and make my affair easy for me” (2).

The time for standing extends from dawn on the Day of ʿArafah until dawn on the Day of Sacrifice. Whoever stands there—even for a single moment—while qualified to perform the rite, his Hajj is valid, even if he is asleep or unaware that he is in ʿArafah. Anyone who stood during the day and departed before sunset without returning before it must offer a compensatory sacrifice, unlike one who stood only at night.
