Subject:	The fast of Day of Arafah
Question:	Salam Aleikum As the day of Arafah and Eid Al Adha will again this year be different to those on Hajj (as they have to follow the saudi way etc) For us shia we are one day behind their calendar with that in mind what is the rules for fasting. To fast on the Day of Arafah is highly mustahab. What are the merits of fasting on this day? As our day of arafah is actually the hujjat Eid day of sacrifice, what is the ruling? Do we fast on their day of arafah as I have previously done to create unity or do we actually have to fast on our real day of arafah? MAking our eid day different to the hujjat? Please clarify. Jazak Allah Khair for your response and please send response to my email. Thank you.
Answer:	Our Sheikh will respond to this question in the coming days Insha'Allah, check again soon
