Those who are not Pilgrims are advised to fast on the day of Arafat. Arafat is the name of a plain located outside of Mecca where Muslim pilgrims gather on the 9th day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah as part of the Hajj pilgrimage. This day is known as the Day of Arafat, and it is considered one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. For Muslims who are not performing the Hajj pilgrimage, fasting on the Day of Arafat is highly recommended. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the upcoming year. This recommendation is based on the practice of the Prophet himself and his Companions. Therefore, for those who are not performing the Hajj, fasting on the Day of Arafat is an opportunity to gain rewards and expiate their sins. It is a day of great significance and a time for increased worship and remembrance of Allah.
