Through the study of Library Research which refers to the opinions of ulama. This study concludes that fasting arafah and tarwiyah are worship practices that have sunnah values, according to the arguments presented. As for the polemic of determining the day, it is divided into two groups. First: consider that arafah is a sign for the time when the haji “wukuf” in Arafah. And second: assume that arafah is a date (9 Zulhijjah). Both have their own basis of thinking, but the author as a researcher chooses the second opinion.
