The ruling on a woman fasting voluntarily without her husband's permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This one also says: I would like to fast voluntarily on Mondays and Thursdays and the white days, but my husband prevents me, claiming that fasting distracts me from the affairs of the house and from him. Does he have the right to do this?

Answer:
Yes, he has the right to do so, and it is not permissible for a woman to fast a voluntary fast while her husband is present, meaning he is there, except with his permission. The hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came with this, so his permission is required in this matter, because his right is obligatory, and this fasting is recommended.
