Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Does the husband have the right to prevent his wife from voluntary fasting, even though he is not present with her during the day?

Answer:
Yes, he may prevent her from voluntary fasting. She does not fast except with his permission. In the hadith:
If her husband is present, she does not fast except with his permission.من كان زوجها حاضرا فلا تصوم إلا بإذنه.
