Why is there confusion regarding holidays?
Muharram is celebrated according to the Islamic calendar and its date is decided only on the sighting of the moon. For this reason, many times the probable date of holidays is released earlier, but it may change later. This is the reason why there is confusion among people regarding bank and stock market holidays.
