What is incumbent upon the deceased wife who entered into a state of Ihram for a voluntary Hajj but did not complete the standing at Arafat due to illness, and upon her husband who exited the state of Ihram with her, and they both did not complete the Hajj?
The jurists differed on the sufficient duration of standing at Arafat. The Hanafis hold that the obligatory standing is for an hour between the decline of the sun on the ninth and the dawn of the tenth, and their (necessary act) is to stand from Zawal (midday) until sunset. If one departs before sunset, a dam (sacrificial offering) is due. The Malikis believe its time is from Zawal until the Fajr (dawn) call to prayer, and its rukn (pillar) is at night. The Shafi'is believe its time is from Zawal until the rising of Fajr, and its rukn is both day and night, and combining them is mustahabb (recommended). The Hanbalis believe its time is from the Fajr of Arafat day until the rising of Fajr on the day of Nahr (sacrifice), and it is obligatory to combine both night and day. We issue a (religious edict) according to the Hanbali view regarding the sufficiency of standing before Zawal. Whoever does not combine night and day in their standing, and their standing was during the day, a dam is due upon them.
