Yawm al-Tarwiyah(يَوْم التَّرْوِيَة) Yawm al-Tarwiyah is the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, marking the beginning of the main Hac rites. Pilgrims enter Ihram for Hac and travel to Mina where they spend the night in preparation for the Day of Arafat.
يَوْم التَّرْوِيَة
On Yawm al-Tarwiyah, hacilar performing Hac Tamattu who had exited Ihram after their Umre now re-enter Ihram for Hac from their accommodations in Mekke. Those performing Hac Ifrad or Qiran are already in Ihram. After praying Fajr, hacilar depart for Mina, the tent city located approximately 5 kilometers east of Mekke. In Mina, hacilar pray the five daily namazs, shortening the four-rak'ah namazs (Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha) to two rak'ahs each but performing each namaz at its proper time without combining. The night is spent in worship, reflection, and preparation for the most important day of Hac — the standing at Arafat. This is a day of spiritual preparation, and hacilar are encouraged to occupy themselves with Telbiye, dhikr, and dua. The stay at Mina on this day is considered Sunnah, not Wajib, alimlerin cogunluguna gore.
