Re: Fasting on Ashura ..
you are recommended to fast a half day
you also call it a fast
so for what i said i feel comfortable, although to be more precise i would have to have said
" you dont fast, you fast, you fast a half day "
the statement is incoherent. the poor sister might have had to run to the drugs store for painkillers to consume such a statement
this halfday policy is also inline with the shiaism that i know, it fulfills the taqiyah requirements
freudian slip again
