Summary
The article explains that Muharram is one of the four sacred months. Fasting on the 10th of Muharram (‘Asyuraa’) and the day before it, the 9th (Tasu’aa’), is recommended according to Imam al-Nawawi. The Prophet instructed fasting one day before or after ‘Asyuraa’ to distinguish Muslim practice from that of the Jews and Christians. The article also mentions the virtue of this fast, namely that it expiates the sins of the previous year.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut Imam al-Nawawi disunatkan berpuasa pada hari 'Asyuraa' dan hari sebelumya atau dikenali sebagai puasa hari Tasu'aa'
