General rulings on hajj and umrah
What is meant by Nahar Day and when does it fall?
Answer in brief
Nahar Day is the 10th of Zulhijjah, also known as Hari Raya Haji or the Day of Sacrifice. The word al-Nahar means slaughter, and the day is named so because Muslims who are able are enjoined to perform the sacrifice. On this day pilgrims begin the stoning at Jamratul Kubra and are encouraged to offer a sacrifice, which is best done in Mina. The fatwa describes it as one of the great days in Islam, based on a hadith of the Prophet SAW.
