Answer

Respected Brother-in-Islam

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

The purpose of fasting a day before or after the 10th Muharram is to avoid imitating the Jews who fast only on the 10th of Muharram. If one is unable to keep the second fast due to circumstances, he will be excused.
