Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to fast in gratitude to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for one who has bought a house or something else, or has been granted something that pleases him?
Answer:
No, no, fasting is not prescribed except with evidence, and it is not reported that the one who moves into a house for the first time fasts. This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), so there is no fasting except with evidence.
