chubacka Posted January 16, 2008 The tenth day of Muharram,it is recommended to fast the day before Ashoora and on da day of Ashura itself. Abu Hurayrah (ra) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (saw) said: ‘The best of fasting after Ramadaan is fasting Allaah’s month of Muharram.’” (reported by Muslim, 1982). The Prophet (saw)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). Also Imaam al-Nawawi (ra) said: “It expiates for all minor sins, i.e., it brings forgiveness of all sins except major sins.” It is recommended to fast two days to be different from the Jews,so muslims fast the day before Ashoora and the day of Ashoora itself. My calender says the tenth is on Saturday 19th but i read somewhere tenth is on Friday... can anyone confirm? tnxs in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winnie Posted January 16, 2008 i think you should follow your local mosque. its on your intentions. obviously things are out of whack since the communities in the west havent done eid on the same day.s just follow your local mosque or your family.

Aaliyyah Posted January 17, 2008 One of my friends invited me to come with her to the mosque. You know how the shia group wear black on the Ashuura day and beat themselves up or something alike. I was wondering if that was halaal or haraam? Isn't like am gonna beat myself or anything lol, but just to go with her...?? any ideas. wa salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubacka Posted January 17, 2008 Aliyah if it were me I wouldn't go with her, what wil you do wen dey all start hitting themselves and when they start praying and cursing the nobel companions of (saw)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted January 17, 2008 ^^I think they believe they need to shed blood on the day of Ashura. If not then they may beat their chests. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted January 17, 2008 Actually my knowledge of the shia group is limited. Chubacka, why would they curse the companions of the prophet csw? North, I dnt know abt the shedding blood. waaba baqay walahi lol. But, she did mention beating their chests. My friend assured me it was touching your chest lightly, she said some ppl over do it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
