The ruling on voluntary fasting if the parents do not approve of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you for her last question. She says: Sometimes I fast on Mondays and Thursdays, and praise and thanks be to Allah. But my mother said to me, “How can you fast when your father and I are not pleased with you?” So does she commit a sin, and is it obligatory to seek the parents' permission for voluntary fasting? The mother says the reason for her refusal is that she fears for her health, even though I am healthy and in good condition, praise be to Allah.
Answer:
In any case, if there is no harm to the parents in your fasting, such as you neglecting their rights or their service, then there is nothing wrong with you fasting. You should convince your mother that you are able to fast and that you desire the reward and recompense. I do not think she will object to that, if Allah wills. Yes.
