IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-404: APAKAH MAKSUD HARI TARWIYAH DAN APAKAH KELEBIHANNYA ?
What is the meaning of the day of Tarwiyah and does it have a specific virtue?
Short answer
The day of Tarwiyah is the 8th of Dhul Hijjah. According to Ibn Qudamah, it is so named because pilgrims prepare water before heading to Arafah, and because on that night Prophet Ibrahim AS had a dream of sacrificing his son and pondered over it.

Summary
The day of Tarwiyah is the 8th of Dhul Hijjah. According to Ibn Qudamah, it is so named because pilgrims prepare water before heading to Arafah, and because on that night Prophet Ibrahim AS had a dream of sacrificing his son and pondered over it. The hadith stating that fasting on Tarwiyah expiates a year of sins is judged unsound because its chain contains a liar and an unknown narrator. There is no authentic hadith on a specific act for this day, but righteous deeds including fasting fall under the general virtue of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, tidak terdapat hadith yang sahih menceritakan amalan tertentu yang boleh dilakukan pada hari Tarwiyah melainkan ia termasuk di dalam umum hadith yang menceritakan akan kelebihan melakukan amal soleh pada 10 hari terawal bulan Zul al-Hijjah
