The reward for fasting the day of Ashura
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the reward associated with fasting the day of Ashura, if one fasts only the tenth day, without fasting the day before or after it?
Answer:
The reward associated with it is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fast the day of Ashura, and seek from Allah that He expiate the sins of the previous year." In it is a great reward, for it expiates the sins that occurred throughout the entire previous year. This is a great favor. Fasting only the day of Ashura is sufficient, but the better course is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, which is to fast the day before it. If it is not possible to fast the day before it, one should fast the day after it.
