Exchanging gifts among friends on the day of Aashura

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is exchanging gifts among friends on the day of Aashura an established practice?

Bismillaah

A: It is Sunnah for one to spend on his family on the day of Aashura. Exchanging gifts among friends is not a Sunnah practice and hence should be discontinued.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
