Question:
This questioner says: Designating the collective breaking of the fast on the day of 'Ashura for employees, or for those of the family at home,
Answer:
Agreeing to fast collectively, whether on 'Ashura or on any other day, is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, if it happens that you are gathered in an office or a workplace, there is nothing wrong with it, because this is an unintentional gathering. A gathering, meaning a gathering for the suhur meal and a gathering for breaking the fast, that is not intended, is permissible. Yes.
