Fasting 9th and 10th of Muharram

Faizah · **Fasting 9th and 10th of Muharram -** 01-10-2008

"Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein…" [al-Tawbah 9:36]

Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The year is twelve months of which four are sacred, the three consecutive months of Dhu'l-Qa'dah, Dhu'l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab which comes between Jumaadal-thaani and Sha'baan." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2958).

Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to Madeenah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of 'Aashooraa'. He said, 'What is this?' They said, 'This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allaah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies, so Moosa fasted on this day.' He said, 'We have more right to Moosa than you,' so he fasted on that day and commanded [the Muslims] to fast on that day." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1865).

Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of 'Aashooraa', and this month, meaning Ramadaan." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 1867).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "For fasting the day of 'Aashooraa', I hope that Allaah will accept it as expiation for the year that went before." (Reported by Muslim, 1976).

Abd-Allaah ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said:
"When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fasted on 'Aashooraa' and commanded the Muslims to fast as well, they said,
'O Messenger of Allaah, it is a day that is venerated by the Jews and Christians.' The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, 'If I live to see the next year, inshaAllaah, we will fast on the ninth day too.' But it so happened that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) passed away before the next year came."
(Reported by Muslim, 1916).

Just got a confirmation...

bismillaah, al-hamdu-lillaah was-salaatu was-salaamu 'alaa rasoo-lillaah, wa ba'd:

It is with regret we inform all our brothers and sisters that there has unfortunately been some error and confusion in the news which was relayed to us concerning the start of the month of muharram; subsequently, the day of 'aashooraa will actually be as we initially reported, as follows:

09 muharram = thursday 17 january 2008
10 muharram (day of 'aashooraa) = friday 18 january 2008
11 muharram = saturday 19 january 2008
