What is Special About the Ten Days of Dhul Hijjah? – Shaykh Faid Mohammed Said: https://seekersguidance.org/articles/prophetic-guidance/blessing-ten-days-dhul-hijjah \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Messenger (PBUH) of Allah said\, “There are no days during which righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days (the first 10 days of Dhul HIjjah).” [Bukhari] \n\n\n\n\n– Read Qur’an\n\n\n\n– Make Dua\n\n\n\n– Increase Nawaafil (voluntary) prayers\n\n\n\n– Increase fasting\n\n\n\n– Increase Dhikr (supplications)\n\n\n\n– Increase charity\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n\n\nIbn ‘Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said\, “There are no days during which the righteous action is so pleasing to Allah than these days (i.e.\, the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah).” He was asked: “O Messenger of Allah\, not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah?” He (PBUH) replied\, “Not even Jihad in the Cause of Allah\, except in case one goes forth with his life and his property and does not return with either of it.” [Al- Bukhari] \n\n\n\nIt is a good sunnah to do Qurbani/Udhiyah to feed the poor in these times. Some scholars may have viewed it as obligatory\, however\, the majority see it as a voluntary (sunnah/mustahab) act. For those who wish to do Qurbani\, it is mustahab (or voluntary sunnah) to avoid cutting hair and nails until the Qurbani is slaughtered. If you cut any hair or nails\, however\, your Qurbani is accepted and it has no effect on the slaughter.
