muharram

Q: Why mostly hanafi people, mostly their scholars spread moudoo hadith? Like fast in month of Muharram which is equal to a month? They quote this hadith:

وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم من صام يوم عرفة كان له كفارة سنتين ومن صام يوما من المحرم فله بكل يوم ثلاثون يوما (مجمع الزوائد رقم 5244).

Which is moudoo and they also tell to do masah of side of neck so that you may not be shackled on day of qayammah which again is moudoo and they say it is sunnah. I think they should fear God and do not twist the deen as Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said

وَشَرَّ الأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَكُلَّ مُحْدَثَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَكُلَّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلاَلَةٌ وَكُلَّ ضَلاَلَةٍ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ

Doing any new deed which is not proved from sunnah or Sahabah will make them suffer hell fire.

Q: Regarding the fasts of Aashura, I came across an article that states: In fact Hafiz Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) states: Fasting on the ninth, tenth and eleventh of Muharram is on the highest level of preference. (Fathul Bari, under Hadith: 2000) Is this correct? Can it be practised?

Q: Is it appropriate to hold gatherings in muharram to speak about Karbala?

Q: Can one quote and practise on the Hadith which explains that fasting for each day in the month of Muharram equals fasting for an entire month?

Q: I was recently informed by a friend that there is no need to fast on the 9th or 11th of Muharram together with the 10th in this era, as the element of tashabbuh (emulation) of the Jews is no longer found. Is this correct?

Q: Can we fast on the 9th, 10th and 11th of Muharram?
