Question
Our local musjid in Dundee KZN, is hosting a laylatul aashura programme for after esha salaah. As per the notice, there shall be a Yaaseen khatham and a bayaan by a local mufti. Please advise if this type of programme is in accordance with shariah?
Answer
This programme is bid'ah. It is not permissible to participate in it. From whence did they dig out this bid'ah. The only command pertaining to Aashura is to fast two days. There is no such thing as 'laylatul aashura'.
