Isolating the Day of Ashura with Fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to fast the day of 'Ashura' alone?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to fast 'Ashura' alone, but its reward is less than that of the one who fasts the day before it. This is in accordance with the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Yes.
