About this day
Twelver communities differ over when Sayyida Fatima al-Masuma (a) died, and this is the day the Centre lists, with 201 AH given as the year. The date is weakly attested: early sources give no specific mention of it, and later scholars judged the reported dates unsound. It is not universally observed.
Communities differ on this
The Centre’s congregation includes Indian, Pakistani, Irani, Hazara, Iraqi and Afghan families, and they 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.
