Righteous Deeds on Dhu’l-Hijjah


QUESTION: "Are the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah [i.e. 12th Islamic month] more special than other days? What are the righteous deeds that it is recommended to do a lot of during these ten days?"

ANSWER: Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2/457

So the Muslim should start these days with sincere repentance to Allah, then he should do a lot of righteous deeds in general, then he should pay attention to doing the following deeds:
1 – Fasting
2 – Reciting tahmeed, tahleel and takbeer a great deal
3 – Doing Hajj and ‘Umrah
4 – Udhiyah (sacrifice)
