Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Regarding the hadith, "When the ten days enter..."
There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than theseمن أيام العمل الصالح فيها أحب إلى الله من هذه
Sunan Ibn Majah 1727Sahih (Darussalam)
the ten days. What is this hadith and its explanation? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, these ten days are the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, blessed days. They are blessed because they precede the Hajj to the House of Allah, and because of the virtue of their days. Therefore, it is recommended to fast during them. Also, the Muslims increase their recitation of the takbir in them, and they prepare for the Hajj and also for the Festival of Sacrifice and the slaughtering of the sacrificial animals. So, they are blessed days.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than theseما من أيام العمل خير وأحب إلى الله من هذه
Riyad as-Salihin 1249
the ten days. It was said:
They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah?” He said: “Not even Jihad in the cause of Allah, unless a man goes out with himself and his wealth and does not bring anything back.”يا رسول الله ولا الجهاد في سبيل الله؟ قال ولا الجهاد في سبيل الله إلا من خرج بنفسه وماله فلم يرجع من ذلك بشيء
Sunan Ibn Majah 1727Sahih (Darussalam)
This is a great virtue for these ten days. It is necessary for the Muslim to increase the remembrance of Allah in them, it is recommended to fast in them, and it is recommended to increase obedience to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in them.
