The ruling on voluntary fasting if it affects work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but I do not find the energy for work as I do on other days, which makes my employer angry with me. Am I required to leave off fasting on these two days?
Answer:
Yes, if you are a hired worker and voluntary fasting affects your work, it is not permissible for you to fast. If you are hired for work and fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, or voluntary fasting, affects the work and diminishes it, do not fast. It is not permissible for you to do this. Yes.
