The Ruling on Fasting for the Expiation of an Oath on Specific Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: Is it permissible to fast on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday as expiation for an oath? And which days is fasting disliked on?
Answer:
The expiation is fasted on any day; Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are fine for fasting the expiation, because no specific days have been designated for it. Allah the Exalted says, “and fasting for three days,” and He did not specify particular days. As for the fasting that is disliked, they said that it is disliked to fast the month of Rajab alone, to fast Friday alone, and to fast Saturday alone. This is the fasting that is disliked. It is forbidden to fast on the two days of Eid and the days of Tashriq, except for the sacrifice of Tamattu’ or Qiran. Yes. It is also forbidden for a menstruating woman to fast during her menstruation and post-natal bleeding. Yes.
