What is Day of Tarwiyah?
The Day of Tarwiyah is the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah and the first day of the Hajj rites: pilgrims enter ihram and set out for Mina, spending there the night before Arafah. It was named Tarwiyah ("watering") because pilgrims would stock up on water for themselves and their mounts in preparation for the standing at Arafah.
The virtue of Day of Tarwiyah
It is the gateway to the greatest days of the year: the pilgrim caravans set out on it following the Prophet ﷺ, who went to Mina and prayed Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and the next day’s Fajr there. It also lies within the ten days in which righteous deeds are most beloved to Allah.
