Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
InshaAllah the three white days (13, 14, and 15) for the month of Muharram will be from this Sunday, December 19th - Tuesday, December 21st.
The Prophet (S) said, "The best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the prayer at night." [Muslim]. Therefore, in addition to fasting the three white days, try and fast as many other days as you can :)
Jareer ibn ‘Abdullaah (rAa) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Fasting three days of each month is fasting for a lifetime, and ayaam al-beed are the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Al-Nasaa'i; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheel al-Targheeb]
Qatada ibn Milhan said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to command us to fast the white days: the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth." [Abu Dawud]
Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not fail to fast the white days either when at home or on a journey." [an-Nasa'i]
*****There is a yahoo group titled 'ThreeWhiteDays' that will send email reminders of when these days will be observed for each month.
fi'imanilLah,
Wafā' وفاء Manasrah
