I read the same from Islam Helpline.

But..In thos Hadit's, it'z not saying about that 3 levels of Ashurahis .

@ Eco-savvy :

As far as i kno, It was considered as Muharam 8th today by SAudi(Untill yesterday). But they changed it ..

Ok no worries we can fast for two days tmr and day

Ramshi, Please find below as requested:

Fasting during the month of Muharram, especially the day of `Ashurah and The Preceding and Following Days:

Abu Hurairah reported: "I asked the Prophet: 'Which prayer is the best after the obligatory prayers?' He said: 'Prayer during the middle of the night.' I asked: 'Which fast is the best after the fast of Ramadan?' He said, 'The month of Allah that you call Muharram.' " (Related by Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud.)

Mu`awiyyah ibn Abu Sufyan reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah saying: “Concerning the day of `Ashurah, it is not obligatory upon you to fast on it as I do. Whoever wishes may fast and whoever does not wish to is not obliged to do so." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

`Aishah stated: “The tribe of Quraish used to fast on the day of `Ashurah in the days before Islam, as did the Prophet. When he came to Madinah, he still fasted on it and ordered the people to do likewise. Then, when fasting during the month of Ramadan became obligatory, he said: 'Whoever wishes may fast [`Ashurah] and whoever wishes may leave it.’" (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

According to al-Bukhari and Muslim, Musa Al-Ash`ari reported: "The Jews would honor the day of `Ashurah as an festival. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'You [Muslims] are to fast on it.'" Ibn 'Abbas reported: "The Messenger of Allah fasted on the day of `Ashurah and ordered the people to fast on it. The people said: 'O Messenger of Allah, it is a day that the Jews and Christians honor.' The Prophet said, 'When the following year comes-Allah willing--we shall fast on the ninth.' The death of the Prophet came before the following year." (Recorded by Muslim and Abu Dawud.) In one version the wording is: “If I remain until next year, we shall fast the ninth," meaning, in addition to the the tenth. (Related by Muslim and Abu Dawud.)

The scholars have mentioned that the fast of `Ashurahis of three levels:

1. Fasting three days--that is, on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of Muharram;

* Fasting on the 9th and 10th; and

* Fasting only on the 10th.
