Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the authenticity of the hadithMishkat al-Masabih 1926, 1927, and is it acted upon?
Answer:
It has no basis. On the day of Ashura, nothing is done in it except fasting. There is no generosity to the family in it, and nothing happens in it other than fasting; that is what is correct and established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).Sahih Muslim 1718a
And no hadith is authentic regarding specifying the day of Ashura with spending, or with joy, or with happiness, or anything else. Even though the common people call it the festival of the year, they say the year, the year is Muharram, they call it the year, and they say the festival of the year. No, it is not a festival, and it is not called a festival; it is called the day of Ashura. Yes.
