The renowned commentator of the Quran and Hadis, Hakim-ul-Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan has stated, ‘To observe fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram brings tremendous reward. On the 10th of Muharram, prepare delicious foods for the family, ان شاء اللہ عزوجل there will be blessings in the home for the entire year. It is better to cook Khichra (Khichra is a meal prepared by intense cooking of meat alongwith almost all types of pulses, wheat, barley and rice until a homogenous paste is obtained.) and to perform Fatihah for Sayyiduna Imam Hussain رضي اللہ عنہ (this is proven to be very beneficial). On this date (i.e. the 10th of Muharram), if one performs Ghusl, ان شاء اللہ عزوجل he will remain safe from illnesses for the whole year because on this day the water of Zam Zam reaches all waters.’ (Ruh-ul-Bayan, pp. 142, vol. 4, Quetta)
