Advanced Member Bunny old Posted July 14, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) Salam alaikum What is the fasting called when it is in Muharram? Like in Urdu there are two different words roza for fasting in Ramzan and Faqa in Muharram.But does language English has different terms to denote the two? What are these two different types of fasting called in Arabic and Persian? Is it alright to keep a roza on 21 st of Ramzan since keeping a roza on 10 thof Muharram is cosidered haram ,on 10 th of Moharram because it is a sad day.So what about 21 st of Ramzan ? That day is sad too ? What should the people do? Edited July 14, 2013 by Bunny old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member *Sayyeda* Posted July 14, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 (wasalam)The reason the Shia do not keep fast on 10th Muharram is because it is considered haram or Makruh (depending on which scholar you follow). It is not because it is a sad day that we do not fast on the 10th of Muharram but it is said that the supporters of Yazid fasted that day for their success and therefore we do not wish to liken ourselves to them. The same rule of not fasting applies to Arafa and Eid al Azha which is obviously a happy day thus it is not limited to only sad days. Therefore there would be no reason to stop anyone fasting on the 21st of Ramadan which is wajib for all able people to do.

Advanced Member Abraram Posted July 29, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 exception of fasting on 1oth ogf muharram is not because of sadness and you cannot compare two things on the basis of their state... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member gajarkahalva Posted November 4, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Faqa is not the same as Roza. When you keep a faqa, you break it some time after zohr ( i think around asr time) and before maghrib. With a Roza, obviously it is up until maghrib. On the 10th of Muharram we keep a faqa and not a roza like Sunnis etc do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was slaughtered by shimr (LA) in a state of sajda. Just reminding you, five time salat daily is wajib. zahra kazmi and Hameedeh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
