Tawaful Ifadah on 7th of Dhul Hajj

Question: What is the Fatwa on doing Tawaful Ifadah on 7th of Dul Hajj?

Fatwa: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad , is His slave and Messenger.

 There is a consensus of opinion among scholars of Islam that performing Tawaf al-Ifada on the 7th of Zul-Hijjah is completely incorrect since its fixed time is after standing on 'Arafah on the 9th of Zul-Hajjah. According to some Fuqaha, it is sufficient only to perform Tawaf al-Ifada after the dawn of 10th of Zul-Hajjah or after the midnight of the 10th of Zul-Hajjah for those who have already stood on 'Arafah.

Allah Knows best.
