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)

Allah Subhanah has permitted the believing woman to wear gold ornaments;   and there is absolutely no harm if she wears them on her hands,   her feet,   or even on her head if she wishes to do so! However, these anklets should not emit any sound that may attract strange men. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyah vol.5 pg.127)   Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me.   Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
