Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I am with my children in the house, and there are eight of us. We fast collectively, the young and the old, especially on Mondays and Thursdays. What is the Shaykh’s view on that?
Answer:
If you are one household and you fast, taking your pre-dawn meal together and breaking your fast together, without obligating the household to do so, there is nothing wrong with that. This is the nature of a household: they take their pre-dawn meal together and break their fast together, not with the intention of collective fasting, but out of the need for it and the prevailing custom in homes. Yes.
