Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our country, Senegal, when the Day of 'Ashura arrives, they prepare food specifically for this day.
Answer:
No, the Day of 'Ashura is not a day of eating and drinking. The days of eating and drinking are the festivals, 'Id al-Adha and 'Id al-Fitr, and the days of Tashreeq. As for the Day of 'Ashura, it is a day of fasting, not a day of eating and drinking. It is a day of fasting, thanking Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for His victory of Musa and his people over the disbelievers. Yes.
