TWO POINTS OF CAUTION

⚠️ THE FIRST: The most complete method in fasting ’Āshūrā is to fast on the ninth of Muḥarram (Thursday 27/07) alongside the tenth (Friday 28/07). As for fasting the eleventh (Saturday 29/07), then the ḥadīth in this regard is weak. The ḥadīth was narrated by Aḥmad, Ibn Khuzaymah and Al-Bayhaqi on the authority Ibn ’Abbās. This ḥadīth is weak for two reasons: ▪️The first: Muḥammad ibn ’Abdirraḥmān Ibn Abī Laylā; a Ṣadūq with poor memory. ▪️The second: Dāwūd ibn ’Alī Al-Hāshīmi; acceptable (maqbūl). ⚠️ THE SECOND: The day of ’Āshūrā will coincide with Friday so it is better to fast the day before, i.e. the ninth (Thursday), but if one singles it out (i.e. Fasts Friday alone), there is no problem; because fasting Friday [in this case] is due to ’Āshūrā - not because its Friday. ✍🏼 Abū ’Ammār Yāsir Al-’Adeni Masjid Al-Istiqāmah - Mukallā 3 Muḥarram 1445 H. http://telegram.me/aboammaar
