Question:
He says: I said, if my request is granted by Allah, I will fast ten days. Praise be to Allah, my request was granted. So, should the fasting be consecutive or separate?
Answer:
According to your condition: if you said, “I will fast ten consecutive days,” then you are required to fast them consecutively. However, if you said, “ten days,” and did not specify “consecutive,” it is permissible to fast them separately or consecutively, and consecutively is better. Yes.
