Making Ibaadah in Arafah

Q: What should a person do upon arriving in Arafah?

A: A person should not waste any time upon reaching Arafah. If he needs to eat, relieve himself or rest, he may do so before zawaal so that after zawaal, he will be ready to engage in wuqoof. 

It is sunnah for him to have ghusl before the wuqoof in Arafah. Hence, he should try to have ghusl before zawaal. 

After preparing himself, if there is still time remaining before zawaal, then he should engage in dua, zikr, reciting the talbiyah or other ibaadaat (tilaawat, salaah, etc.).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
