Explanation of Allah’s Statement: {So fasting three days during Hajj}

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), in the explanation of Allah Almighty’s command { فَصِیَامُ ثَلٰثَۃِ اَیَّامٍ فِی الْحَجِّ }, says that keep one fast before the day of Tarwiyah, one on the day of Tarwiyah, and one on the day of Arafah. And if the fast is missed in these days, then have suhoor on the night of the 14th of Dhul-Hijjah and keep three fasts, and keep seven fasts after returning.
