Assalamu Alaikum

Is it permissible to fast on all 3 of the 9th, 10th, and 11th of Muharram, or should we only fast 9th/10th or 10th/11th?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum Wa-Rahmatullāhi Wa-Barakātuh.

The Masnoon manner is to fast on the 9th/10th or on the 10th/11th  of Muharram, with the former being more virtuous.[1]

It is permissible to fast all three days. According to some, fasting all three days is most virtuous and rewarding.[2]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
