Whoever misses standing at 'Arafat during the Daytime may he stand there during the Night?

Question :

A person took part in the acts of Hajj and he was not able to stand at 'Arafat in the daytime. So, is it permissible for him to stand at 'Arafat after the people have left during the night? How much time of standing would be sufficient for him? Would it suffice him to pass through 'Arafat with his car?

Answer:

The time for standing at 'Arafat extends from the beginning of the Fajr time on the 9th day (of Thul-Hijjah) until the beginning of the Fajr time on the day of Sacrifice (the 10th day). If the Hajj pilgrim is not able to stand during the daytime on the 9th day, he may stand during the night after the people have left, and that suffices him, even if he only stood at 'Arafat during the end of the night just before morning (i.e., dawn). It suffices him even if it is only for several minutes. Likewise, if he passes through the area of 'Arafat while he is in his car, that suffices him. However, it is better for him to be present at the time when the people are standing, and participate with them in supplicating during the afternoon of the day of 'Arafah, and show humbleness and an attentive heart. He should hope for what they hope for of the descent of mercy and attainment of forgiveness. If he misses the daytime, he may stand at night. So, it is better for him to come early for the standing as much as he is able, and stay at 'Arafat, even if it is for a short time, stretching his hands out to his Lord and humbling himself to Him in asking. Then he should go with them (the people) to Muzdalifah and remain there until the end of the night so that he can complete his Hajj.
