The Prophet’s Fasting of the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there any evidence from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or from the Companions indicating that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast on the days of the ten days of Dhul Hijjah?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is mentioned in some hadiths, but the most famous one, I think, is in this book, al-Muntaqa. It states that he used to fast the ten days. Also, fasting is included in righteous deeds. There are no days in which righteous deeds are better or more beloved to Allah than these ten days, and fasting is included in them, because fasting is a deed.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
They deny the fasting of the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. First, they are mistaken. Yes.
