This sunnah fasting is recommended for people who are not on the pilgrimage and for those who are on the pilgrimage it is not sunnah to do it..

can still perform other worship that is no less high reward,
but if you are able to go on pilgrimage, it is still obligatory.

However, it is important to know that fasting is recommended for the Sunnah of Arafah
not because the people who are performing Hajj in the field of Arafah are performing it, but because of the arrival of the day of Arafah.

Meanwhile, to carry out the sunnah fasting worship cannot depend on the time of other countries but must follow the time of each country, whether it is a matter of hours or the start of the calendar.

Nawaitu shauma taerwiyata sunnatan lillahi ta'aala

The virtues of fasting on Eid al-Adha

It must be admitted that 10 The first day of the month of Dhul -Hijjah before the arrival of Eid al -Adha becomes a more important time to be filled with goodness and good deeds, especially fasting, so in fact sunnah fasting is not only recommended to be done 2 only days are called arafah and tarwiyyah but it is also more special if it is done from the initial date, and of course this statement is stated in one of the hadiths which reads::

Abnu Abbas RA narrated that Rasulullah SAW said:

مَا مِنْ أيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيْهَا أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ يَعْنِيْ أَياَّمُ اْلعُشْرِ
قَالُوْا: يَا رَسُوْلَ اللهِ! وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِيْ سَبِيْلِ
اللهِ إلَّا رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهُ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ

It was narrated that Rasulullah SAW said:

There is no deed that is preferred by Allah SWT, from the good deeds done on the first ten days of the month of Dzulhijjah.
The friends asked: Ya Rasulallah, even jihad in the way of Allah? Rasulullah said: Even jihad in the way of Allah except a man who goes out with himself and his property, then do not return forever or become a martyr.
(HR Bukhari).

Day 1 The month of Dzulhijah is the day on which Allah swt forgives
the sin of the Prophet Adam.
Whoever fasts on that day, Allah swt will forgive all his sins.

Day 2 The month of Dzulhijah is the day when Allah swt answers prayers
Prophet Jonah by removing it from the stomach of the fish.

Whoever fasts on that day as if he has worshiped for a full year without committing a single sin.

Day 3 The month of Dzulhijah is the day on which Allah swt granted the prayer of Prophet Zakaria.
Whoever fasts on that day, Then Allah swt will answer all his prayers.

Day 4 the month of Dzulhijah is the day on which the US Prophet Jesus was born.
Whoever fasts on that day will be spared from misery and
poverty.

Day 5 the month of Dzulhijah is the day on which Prophet Musa AS was born, whoever fasts on that day will be free from hypocrisy and the torment of the grave.

Day 6 The month of Dzulhijah is the day on which Allah swt. opening the door of virtue for His Prophet, whoever fasts on that day will be looked upon by Allah with full Mercy and will not be punished.

Day 7 Dzulhijjah is the day when the gates of hell are closed and not
will open before the late tenth day. Whoever fasts on
that day Allah swt will close the thirty gates of poverty and
difficulties as well as will open thirty doors of pleasure and convenience.

Day 8 Dzulhijjah is Tarwiyah Day.
Whoever fasts on that day will get a reward of unknown magnitude except
by Allah swt.

Day 9 dzulhijjah is the day of Arafah. Whoever fasts on that day his fast becomes a ransom for his sins a year ago and a year to come.

However, most human beings find it difficult and lazy to worship for a long time, although its virtues or rewards have been explained in various series of hadiths.

Therefore, if it is not possible to work 9 day of date 1 until before Eid al-Adha then at least don't leave it for tarwiyah and arafah fasting 2 just a day before another hadith says what it means:

"If the day of Arafah arrives, it is not that a person still has a drop of faith in his heart unless he will be forgiven. Then someone asked: Ya Rasulallah, Is it especially for those who are wukuf in Arafah or for all humans?? Rasulullah replied: For all humans”
(HR. Abu Daud |).

Meanwhile, for people who want to do Arafah fasting with tarwiyah and before Eid al-Adha, it is not only necessary to know the date and time of its implementation, but also to understand about the procedures., things that cancel as well as the requirements of the pillars of sunnah fasting including intention.

Which one is for the guide on how to fast yourself 8 and 9 This dzulhijjah is no different from other sunnah fasting, that is, it starts from sunrise to sunset, Meanwhile, for the full intention reading, you can directly see below.
