Comparing the Fasting of the Ninth and Tenth of Muharram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His other question, may Allah bless you, asks about fasting on the ninth and tenth of the month of Muharram: which is better?

Answer:
The ninth is a follower, the tenth is the original, it is the Day of Ashura. However, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Fast a day before it, differ from the Jews,صوموا يوما قبله، خالفوا اليهود،
So fasting on the ninth is for the sake of differing from the Jews. Otherwise, the original is fasting on the tenth day, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
