Fasting on the day of ashura'
Every Muharram, whilst we prepare to mourn the tragedy of Karbala, we are overwhelmed with social media posts describing the merits of fasting the 9th and 10th days of Muharram, and regarding it as a joyous occasion with little to no reference of the murder of Imam Husayn (A.S) and his companions. What is the legitimacy of these narrations, and how should we respond to claims?
