Determining the Day of 'Ashura in This Year

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brothers, we have here in the mosque [people] regarding fasting on the Day of 'Ashura, and they are eager to follow the Sunnah. So which day is it in this year? Is it Friday or Saturday?

Answer:
It is not permissible for it to be Friday or Saturday, because if the month is full, then Friday is the tenth day and Saturday is the eleventh day, and if the month is short, then Friday is the ninth day and Saturday is the tenth day. Yes.
