The ruling on a woman fasting voluntarily with her husband's consent
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I would like to fast voluntarily, but my husband refuses and causes me problems. I tried to reach an understanding with him that I would fast only three days a month, but he refuses. What is the solution?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to fast while her husband is present, meaning he is there, except with his consent. So if he does not consent to her fasting so that she can devote herself to serving her husband and fulfilling his requests, then she does not fast voluntarily. Yes.
