The ruling on one who vowed to fast a month non-consecutively and was exhausted by it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard the Honorable Shaykh say: A woman vowed to fast a month non-consecutively, and she said, “I am exhausted from fasting.” Does she have the option to break her fast and pay expiation, or is she required to fast?
Answer:
She is required to fast. If her vow was for non-consecutive days, she fasts until she completes it, even if non-consecutively. She is required to fast, for whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him.
