Shaikh Abdullah Nasir Rahmani writes:
Some people celebrate on the day of martyrdom of Saydna Imam Hussain عليه السلام, and cook delicious and exotic foods, this act of these stupid and emotional people are extremely pathetic, some people fix their marriage dates on this very day even though this day is not as usual to have celebrations.
If mourning on this day is similar to Shia Rawafidh then rejoicing on this day is same as the Khawarij, so how come it is fair to have celebrations and happiness on this day? Prophet ﷺ called Khawarij as Dogs of hellfire. And he said in one of the hadith
لئن أدركتهم لأقتلنهم قتل ثمود
If I find them, I would kill them as the Thamud were killed." [Sahih Muslim 1064d]
Like the Thamud because when the Allah's Azaab befell upon this cursed nation, nothing had left.
Then there's a question that arises what is the ruling on resembling this nation's ideology?
We request to spent these days like normal days.

Imam Hasan Al Basri رحمہ اللہ said:
قتل مع الحسين بن علي رضي الله عنه ستة عشر رجلا من أهل بيته، والله ما على ظهر الأرض يومئذ أهل بيت يشبهون
Sixteen men were killed with the Hussain عليه السلام from his family, By Allah, there was no family who faced oppression (Zulm) similar to the family of Hussain عليه السلام at that time.
