Question

Assalamu alaikum.Thank you for Fatwa no.731.I think you have not understood my question.What I wanted to know was since Prophet(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)specifically told us to fast on the day of Arafa should not whole Muslim world(except of course Hajiis) fast when it is Arafa day?Arafa day is when it is Arafa in Mecca?as there is no Arafa day in the rest of the world?Was Salaam.
