Eating 7 kinds of vegetables in Muharram

Q. Is it necessary to eat only 7 kinds of vegetable during the ten days of Muharram and were does this rule come from? I would just like to confirm this and know the reason why one should eat only vegetables. I know of families that are doing this. Is this Islamic or not?

A. In Islam, there is no basis of eating seven kinds of vegetables during the days of Muharram. Hence, it has no basis in Shariah.
