Q: In the Hadith regarding increasing your spending on Aashura

Q: My father commands that I fold one corner of my musalla after using it. He believes that Jinn will read Salaah on it and I will be harmed if I interrupt their Salaah. I have respectfully tried showing him that this is incorrect. However, he does not want to accept. He said he learnt this from his mother, hence it must be right. I do not want to show him the ruling that appears in Bahisti Zewar on the same; I fear that he may say something dangerous in a state on anger.

1. Is it necessary to follow his command in this matter?

2. If so, can I disobey it when he will not have any knowledge about it? Like if he is not around, for example.

Q: Regarding the Hadith relating to spending on one's family on the day of Aashura, does one have to purchase the items on the day of Aashura itself or can one buy it a few days before, due to work commitments, and give it to his family on the day of Aashura?
