Question

What does it mean to spend on ones family on the day of Aashura?

Answer

Spending on one’s family on the day of Aashura is general and applies to spending on one’s family in terms of food, clothing and gifts as well. Therefore, it would suffice for one to spend on his/her family on the day of Aashura by giving gifts, clothing or making a special meal for the family. (Shaami 6/430)

Note: Spending on one’s family refers to one’s dependants and not on one’s entire family.
