The Ruling on Consecutiveness in a Vow to Fast for a Month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: One of my relatives vowed that if such-and-such happened, she would fast for a month. The condition was fulfilled, and she is now asking whether she must fast consecutively, or if she may fast the month in separate days?
Answer:
When "a month" is mentioned without qualification, it means consecutively, so she must fast for a month consecutively. Unless she intended a month by number. In that case, she fasts the number of days. But if she simply said "a month" without qualification, they said that "a month" refers to a consecutive month. Yes.
