The Ruling on Group Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, in light of the Shaykh’s opinion: What is the ruling on collective fasting in the house with the children?
Answer:
No, my brother, there is no such thing as collective fasting. Each person fasts individually. This collective fasting is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, if they agree that they want to fast, and they gather in one place and fast together, and they are present to break their fast together, there is no harm in that, but this is not the intended purpose. Yes.
