ذوالحجہ کے پہلے دس دن

عشر ذي الحجة

The first ten days of Dhu al-Hijja are the period from the first of the month to its tenth day ¹. The jurists hold that its days and nights are noble and that deeds done in them are multiplied; striving in worship and doing good are recommended, and the most scholars of Qur'anic commentary take the oath in the Surat al-Fajr to refer to these days ¹. Fasting the first nine days is recommended; fasting on the tenth, the day of sacrifice, is not permitted by agreement ¹. Fasting on the day of Arafat is recommended for those who are not pilgrims, and the majority hold that it expiates minor sins but not major ones ^{1 2}.
