    In 3 sentences: The Prophet Muhammad said that fasting on the Day of Arafah would atone for the sins of the preceding and coming year, and fasting on the Day of Ashura would atone for the sins of the preceding year. Scholars clarified that this refers to minor sins being forgiven, not major sins, which require repentance. Fasting on these days is thus meant to alleviate minor sins and elevate one's rank, rather than forgiving major sins without repentance.

    It was narrated on the authority of Abu Qataadah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet

    sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: "I seek from Allah that fasting the Day
    of ‘Arafah would atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming year, and I seek from Allah that
    fasting the Day of ‘Aashooraa’ (i.e. tenth of Muharram) would atone for the sins of the preceding year."
    [Muslim]

    When explaining this Hadeeth, An-Nawawi may Allah have mercy upon him said that this Hadeeth
    means the sins of the fasting person during these two years. Some scholars said that this Hadith means
    the minor sins. This has been previously clarified when referring to the sins that the ablution atones for.
    We mentioned there that if there are no minor sins, then hopefully the grave major sins will be
    alleviated, and if there are no grave major sins, then one’s rank would be elevated.

    Thus, the sins that are mentioned in this Hadeeth are the minor sins not the grave major ones as the
    grave major sins are forgiven through repentance.

    Allah Knows best.
