The pilgrims go to arafah on the day of Dhul-Hijjah
Answer Details

The Pilgrims go to Arafah on the **ninth** day of Dhul-Hijjah.


To explain further: The pilgrimage in Islam, known as Hajj, consists of several important days and rituals. Among them, the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah is one of the most significant. This day is also known as the **Day of Arafah**. On this day, the pilgrims gather in the plain of Arafah, which is a vital part of the Hajj rituals. Pilgrims spend the afternoon there in prayer and reflection. It is said that standing on Arafah is the essence of the Hajj pilgrimage, where pilgrims ask for forgiveness and seek Allah's blessings.


This day precedes the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, which is commemorated on the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah.
