Summary
The hadiths that state specific rewards for fasting on each of the first eight days of Dhul Hijjah are judged not authentic from the Prophet. The exception is fasting on the Day of Arafah (9 Dhul Hijjah), which is established by a sahih hadith in Muslim: it expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year. Muslims are still encouraged to increase good deeds during the first ten days based on the general sahih hadith, such as voluntary prayers, fasting, charity, Quran recitation, remembrance of Allah and night prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith yang menceritakan berkaitan kelebihan-kelebihan di atas adalah tidak sahih daripada Nabi SAW.
