Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on fasting from speech, and completely abstaining from it for a full day, following the example of Zakariyya (peace be upon him), who said:
Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstentionإِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ صَوْمًا
[Maryam 19:26]


Answer:
This is not part of our Shari'ah; nothing has come from it in our Shari'ah. This is the Shari'ah of those before us, not our Shari'ah. Yes.
