The Ruling on Fasting Consecutive Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on continuing to fast for more than one day?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it, but one must not fast the entire year and never break the fast; this is not permissible because it is excessive strictness and burdening oneself with what one cannot bear. If it is absolutely necessary, then the fasting of Dawud (peace be upon him) is to fast one day and break the fast the next. And if one fasts consecutive days, there is nothing wrong with it, on the condition that he breaks the fast afterward. The Prophet Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast until it was said, "He does not break the fast," and he used to break the fast until it was said, "He does not fast."
صلى الله عليه وسلم يصوم حتى يقال لا يفطر، وكان يفطر حتى يقال لا يصوم.
