About this day

The Centre lists the Battle of Hunayn on the tenth of Shawwal in the year 8 AH, and the entry is optional rather than one every community keeps. The Twelver sources differ on the date: the account the Centre follows has the Muslims leaving Mecca on the sixth and reaching Hunayn on the evening of the tenth.

Communities differ on this

Families at the Centre do not all keep this on the same day. The date above is the one the Centre observes; it is not a ruling on anyone else’s.
