The Virtue of the Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah.

The Shaykh : Finally, regarding the virtue of the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: meaning: the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. The first of them is the first day, and the last is the day of the festival. It was also said that the last is the Day of 'Arafah. In any case, I urge our Muslim brothers to increase in righteous deeds during these ten days, such as charity, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), reciting the Qur'an, and other things. It is amazing that Muslims increase in good during the ten days of Ramadan, and they have the right to do so. But during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, they are heedless of it, because the scholars did not draw attention to this issue to alert people, or perhaps they did, but there was no opportunity to speak about it. In any case: I urge my brothers to increase in righteous deeds during these ten days, such as reciting the Qur'an, dhikr, prayer, charity, and fasting. Let them fill the atmosphere with the saying: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa Allah. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah al-hamd, in the mosques, markets, and homes, aloud, except for women, who should not raise their voices with it.
Fasting in Dhul-Hijjah, the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah: A hadith was reported in the two Sahihs from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: And a hadith was reported in the Sunan from Hafsa, I think, . Imam Ahmad said: "And the affirmative is preferred over the negative". And we say: There is no need for this as long as we have the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Is fasting among the righteous deeds? Answer. Yes, it is among the best deeds, and it falls under this. And the fact that 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did not see him fasting, while others saw him and affirmed it. And the wording of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) implies that he fasted them. Perhaps she (may Allah be pleased with her) had an excuse for not seeing it, or what is permissible for others is permissible for her, such as forgetfulness or something else. The important thing for us is a clear text, which is: This implies that Muslims should fast them as an act of drawing near to their Lord (Mighty and Majestic).
I ask Allah the Exalted to make us and you successful in the righteous deeds that please Him, and to make our outcome good in all matters, and to make the best of our lives the last part of it, the best of our deeds the last of them, and the best and happiest of our days the day we meet Him, and to gather us with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favor, from the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous. And I think that the iqamah (second call to prayer) is due now. And the questions will be, if Allah wills, after the prayer.

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers. There are many questions.
