The ruling on fasting the day of deliverance from calamity every year
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if Allah saves a person from a hardship or an accident, is it prescribed for him to fast on that day every year, like Musa (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
No, this would be a bid'ah (religious innovation) if he commits to fasting on this day; this is a bid'ah, legislating something that Allah and His Messenger did not legislate. One should thank Allah by means other than fasting, thanking Allah with any of the types of gratitude, with the tongue or with charity. Yes. As for making fasting a regular practice that repeats every year, this is a bid'ah. Yes. And may Allah know best, the Shaykh. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad.
