Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
The purpose of fasting a day before or after the 10th Muharram is to avoid imitating the Jews who fast only on the 10th of Muharram. If one is unable to keep the second fast due to circumstances, he will be excused.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
