Do not forget to fast the day of arfaah.Thursday 26 november 2009
the Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) said: "Fasting the day of ‘Arafaah, I hope, will expiate the sins of the year before it and the year to come, and fasting the day of ‘Aashooraa’ (the tenth day of Muharram), I hope, will expiate the sins of the year before it." (Reported by Muslim, 1976).

And Allaah knows best.

Those who are unable to fast feed the fasting persons.One can take some dates to mosque or prepare food for u brothers, husbands or sons .
The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said: ((Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of his reward

mashAllah,great thread. JazakAllahu khair sister.

If someone wants to fast the 9 days and thenAshoora would we start Friday the 29th? I am hearing Aid iseither 6/11 or 7/11, depending upon the lunar calendar, so how will we know which day to start on? Will there be an announcement from Saudi, like Ramadan? It's my first Aid al hamdoulilah and don't have any contact in my community to find out.

Asalaamu Alaikum sister, the fasting in Dhul Hijjah is the first 9 days of Dhul Hijjah and the 9th is the day of Arafah. The fasting on the day of Ashura is in the month of Muharram which is the 10th of Muharram where you are meant to fast the 9th and 10th or 10 or 11th to avoid fasting like the Jews who only fast on the 10th.

Dhul Hijjah begins on Friday the 28th of October in the Uk (Islamically thats Thursday the 28th of October after Maghrib). So the first fast will be on Friday the 28th October. So Sehri will end around 5:45 roughly in the UK.

Note: that in the UK the hour will go back on Sunday so timings will be an hour different and fasting should become even easier. The day of Arafaat will be on Saturday the 5th of November. So Eid ul Adha in the Uk should be on Sunday the 6th of November.

If anything changes i will let you know inshallah. If you have anymore questions or need any help with anything at all then please do not hesitate to ask.

BarakAllahu fik for your response, that clarified a lot of my questions al hamdoulilah. I am in the US, so I imagine we would have the same schedule as the UK.
 
I have another question in regards to when to start fasting. I understand we should start Friday 28 after fajr, however, I will be travelling that day and it will be hard for me to fast. Can I start my fast Saturday 29th? From what I've learned in the past that we should start a fast either on Thursday/Friday, so does this mean that I will have to miss the week of fasting and then only fast Ashoora? JazakAllahu khair for the help!

Asalaamu Alaikum, the fasting starts tomorrow on Friday the 29th so the first Sehri will be on Friday morning. These fasts are voluntary and not obligatory so you can fast as many of the 9 fasts or as little as you want to. Obviously the more we fast the better and the more rewards we will gain. If you are travelling quite a lot on Friday then it is better not to fast and just keep your first fast from Saturday onwards.

The best of the days of fasting in the first 9 days of Dhul Hijjah is on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah which is called the day of Arafah which is on Saturday the 5th of November and that is the day before Eid which will be on Sunday the 6th of November.

What you mean by starting a fast is that in normal times of the year if one is going to fast on a friday then they should also fast a day after it or a day before it so as to not fast just on a friday. The day of Ashurah is in next Islamic month on the 10th of Muharram not in Dhul Hijjah.

Hope that helps.
