Is there any virtue in climbing Jabal Rahmah on the day of Arafah?
Answer
Jabal Rahmah is part of Arafah. Hence, wuqoof is valid at this place. However, it should be borne in mind that there is no special virtue for climbing Jabal Rahmah on the day of Arafah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
