Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Is it permissible to fast the white days during the month, or only Mondays and Thursdays, or consecutively?
Answer:
It is recommended to fast three days of every month. The best is for them to be the white days, which are the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of the middle of the month; this is the best. If one fasts these three days at the beginning of the month or at the end of it, the objective has been achieved, and praise be to Allah. However, fasting them on the white days is better. Fasting Mondays and Thursdays of every week—fasting Monday and fasting Thursday of every week—is also a sunnah (recommended practice). It is a confirmed recommended practice with great reward.
