When is the date of celebration for Haj in Malaysia??

Question

Im confused as the TV is showing Wukuf in Arafah which i thought would result in tomorrow being Hari Raya Haji.
However, all over Msia the date for Haj celebration is on the 20th of December.
Then, what justifies it?

Pls anyone explain this to me

Answer 1

:-)

business is the justification!

the date has been stated since last year. All businesses are scheduled to take day off on 20th. Change to 19 will create many chaos.


peace

Answer 2

Do not be confused my friend.Yes on tuesday afternoon December 18,all haj pilgrims are wukuf in Arafah.After midnight they will go to Mina through Muzdalifah for searching small stones for throwing in Mina.Before subuh on Wednesday December 19 they will come to Mina.They filfil stones throwing and they will sacrefice for slaughtering qurban animal.The time difference between Saudi Arabia and Malaysia is 5 hours.So in Malaysia and also in Indonesia it will celebrate Iedul Adha on Thursday December 20.The Iedul Adha day is the day when the haj pilgrims slaughtered qurban animal. and it is not based on the day on wukuf in Arafah.

Answer 3

It's right.....result in Arafah it's right,it's tomorrow.Then in malaysia,it's 20th December

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


Dear questioner, thank you for your question, which is sign of keenness in knowing the proper way of performing the rituals of Hajj. May Allah reward you and grant you Hajj mabrur and Paradise.

Climbing Safa and Marwah and making supplications for one's material and spiritual well-being and welfare are encouraged. During the supplications one should face the Ka`bah.

It is well-known that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) went through the Safa gate and on approaching Safa, he recited Almighty Allah's saying, [Behold! Safa and Marwa are among the Symbols of Allah] (Al-Baqarah 2:158) and then said, "I begin with what Allah mentioned first."

He climbed Safa until he could see the Ka`bah from where he stood. He faced the Ka`bah, thrice proclaimed Allah's Oneness, glorified Him, praised Him, and then said, "There is no god but Allah. He has no partners. To Him belongs the kingdom and all praise. He alone grants life and causes death, He has power over all things. There is no God but He. He has fulfilled His promise, given victory to His servant, and He alone defeated the confederates." He made similar supplications thrice. Then he walked toward Marwah and climbed it until he could see the Ka`bah. There he made supplications as he had at Safa.

Making supplications, remembrance of Allah, and reciting the Qur'an while walking between Safa and Marwah are all desirable.



In his response to your question, Sheikh Muhammad Nur Abdullah, former president of the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) and member of the Fiqh Council of North America, stated,

Start the Sa`i from Mount Safa and read verse 158 from Surat Al-Baqarah: [Behold! Safa and Marwah are among the Symbols of Allah. So if those who visit the House in the Season or at other times should compass them round, it is no sin in them. And if any one obeys his own impulse to good, be sure that Allah is He Who recognises and knows] (Al-Baqarah 2:158).

You should now ascend Safa and, facing the Ka`bah, make whatever supplication you choose. In this situation, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say three times "There is no god but Allah."

You should now proceed toward Mount Marwah, walking at a normal pace until you reach the green marker. Men should run until they reach the next green marker, whereupon they should revert to a normal walking pace until they reach Marwah. Women should proceed at normal walking pace all the time. You are now ready to make the return journey, walking where you should walk and, if a man, running, if able, where you should run. This is your second passage.

You should now repeat the procedure until you have completed seven passages, ending your Sa`i at Marwah. While performing Sa`i, you should pray to Allah as you wish and recite verses from the glorious Qur'an.

As for the sleeping in Muzdalifah, it is wajib, but how long of the night the pilgrim should stay is subject to differences of opinion among scholars. The ideal way, if you have no reason that delayed you in `Arafah, is that you spend the night at Muzdalifah. Do not throw the jamarat (Arabic for: pebbles) before sunrise. You have the option that you go first and do Tawaf Al-Ifadah and then go back and throw the jamarat. Or, you can go to throw the jamarat first and then proceed with Tawaf Al-Ifadah.
