The answer

Fasting in the month of Muharram is recommended by the majority of scholars. Among the proofs for its recommendation are: "So fast Muharram, for it is the month of Allah, and in it there is a day when He forgave a people, and He will forgive others in it." And "The best fasting after Ramadan is Allah's month of Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer."
