Manāsik al-Ḥajj - Ibn Taimiya - (98)

Anything beyond that—such as bathing for the stoning of the jamarāt (1), for ṭawāf, or for spending the night (2) in Muzdalifah—has no foundation (3), neither (4) in the practice of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, nor in that of his Companions. The majority of the imams did not deem it recommended—neither (5) Mālik, nor Abū Ḥanīfah, nor Aḥmad (6)—even though (7) a group of their later followers (8) have mentioned it. In fact, it is an innovation (9), unless there is a particular reason that would make it recommended, such as a person emitting an offensive odor that harms others (10); in that case he may bathe to remove it.

All of ʿArafah is a valid place for standing, and one should not stand in the valley of ʿUranah.

Climbing the hill that is there is not part of the Sunnah. It is called “the Mount of Mercy” (11), and it is also referred to as “Ilāl,” pronounced like “Hilāl.”

(1) In manuscript B: “al-Hijr.” (2) In manuscripts A and C: “and the overnight stay.” (3) According to the Hanbali madhhab, it is recommended to bathe (ghusl) for the Tawaf al-Ifada, the Tawaf al-Wada, the night spent at Muzdalifah, and the stoning of the jamarat; see al-Insaf, 1/250. (4) The word “la” (not) is absent from manuscripts A and B. (5) The phrase “the majority of the imams do not” is absent from manuscripts A and B. (6) The words “nor Ahmad” are absent from manuscript D. (7) The word “qad” is absent from manuscript B. (8) Manuscripts A and B read: “al-ashab.” (9) The phrase “rather, it is an innovation” is absent from manuscripts A and B. (10) The phrase appears in manuscripts C and D as “al-nas biha” instead of “biha al-nas.” (11) Shaykh al-Islam said: “It is recommended that he stand near the rocks and Mount Mercy, and not …”

ومَا سِوَى ذلك؛ كالغُسْلِ لِرَمْيِ الجِمَارِ (١) ، وللطوافِ، وللْمَبِيتِ (٢) بمزدلفةَ، فلا أَصْلَ له (٣) ، لا (٤) عَنِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللَّهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ، ولَا عنْ أصحابِهِ، ولا اسْتَحَبَّهُ جمهور الأئمة، لا (٥) مالكٌ، ولا أبو حنيفةَ، ولا أحمدُ (٦) ، وإنْ كانَ قد (٧) ذَكَرَهُ طائفةٌ مِنْ متأخِّري أصحابه (٨) ، بل هو بدعة (٩) ، إلَّا أنْ يكونَ هناك سببٌ يَقتضِي الاستحبابَ، مثلُ أنْ يكونَ عليه رائحةٌ يُؤذِي بها الناسَ (١٠) ؛ فيغتسلُ لإِزالَتِهَا. وعرفةُ كلُّها مَوْقِفٌ، ولا يَقِفُ ببطنِ عُرَنَةَ. وأمَّا صعودُ الجبلِ الذي هناكَ؛ فليسَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ، ويسمَّى: «جبلَ الرحمةِ» (١١) ، ويُقالُ له: «إِلَالٌ» ، على وَزْنِ: «هِلَالٍ» .
