How to Fast on the Day of Ashura
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it sufficient for the Day of Ashura to fast the ninth day with it, or is it necessary to fast the eleventh day?
Answer:
The Day of Ashura falls into three categories: either you fast it alone, and this is permissible. Or you fast a day before it, and this is better. Or you fast it and fast a day after it, and this is also permissible. Or you fast all three days: the Day of Ashura, a day before it, and a day after it; fasting all three is the best. Or the next in virtue is to fast a day before it, and the third state is to fast a day after it. All of this is permissible, and praise be to Allah.
