The Ruling on Fasting the Day of Ashura Alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is about fasting the Day of Ashura: if one restricts himself to fasting only the tenth day, is that sufficient, and what is its virtue?
Answer:
Yes, that is sufficient for him, but he will receive less reward; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that a day before it be fasted, and in another narration, a day after it, so it should not be fasted alone. However, if he fasts it alone, it is sufficient, and he will have reward according to what he did. Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. The meeting will be renewed with Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan in the program Nur 'ala al-Darb in the coming episodes, if Allah wills. Until that time, we entrust you to Allah, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
