Question
Fasting on the Day of Arafaat is Sunnat. What if the Day of Arafaat is one day earlier than the date in our country?
Answer
We follow our local dates which are determined by our local sighting of the moon. We have to fast on 9th Zil Hajj, that is, when it is the 9th in our country, not the 9th in Saudi Arabia.
