The Ruling on Generosity and Displaying Joy on the Day of Ashura

Question:
If its good is predominant, then if its good is predominant, we do not forbid it. As for when its evil is predominant, it is forbidden, or if the good and evil in it are equal, it is forbidden. So the prohibition follows the harm and the evil that is in it. Yes, yes, yes. One of the accountants said regarding the issue of increasing in worship: "Did you know me on the day I knew Allah?" She said: "Just as the people of the Sunnah are beaten by the corrupters, I know in it what corresponds to the usurper, may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace. We wanted our fathers to be under a covenant, and we are seeking help from your fathers. This is correct speech."

Answer:
Yes, on the day of 'Ashura, nothing is prescribed in it except fasting. As for what some jurists said that one should be generous with one's family on this day, and display joy and happiness, and be generous with one's family, this has no basis. Only fasting is prescribed in it. Whoever innovates in it anything other than fasting, that is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Not being generous with one's family, nor displaying joy and happiness as they say. Likewise, what the Shi'ah observe on this day of sadness, weeping, wailing, slapping cheeks, tearing clothes, and so on, this is from the innovations of the jahiliyyah (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance) that . It is a great day that is fasted, as the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted it, and Musa (peace be upon him), the one who spoke to Allah, fasted it before him. This is what is prescribed in it. And whatever is added to the fasting is a bid'ah. Yes.
