Three White Days for Thul Hijjah (don't forget to read the note!)

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,


InshaAllah the three white days (13, 14, and 15) for the month of Thul Hijjah will be from this Friday, November 19th - Sunday, November 21st. 

Note: Since the 13th of Thul Hijja is still within the days of "Ayyaam Al-Tashreeq", the Scholars have said that fasting it is forbidden. The Prophet (S) said about these days that, "The days of Al-Tashreeq are days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah (SWTA)" [Muslim]

With that said, you can still fast the 14th and 15th, which are this Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st. I ask Allah(swt) to reward you, Ameen :)

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
