The ruling on the group fasting on Mondays and Thursdays
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, 'Adil, is asking about fasting as a group, or the family fasting on Mondays and Thursdays?
Answer:
The coordinated, agreed-upon group fasting is not permissible; this is an innovated fast. However, if each person fasts on his own, or if they gather for the pre-dawn meal or for breaking the fast without intending to coordinate the group fast, there is nothing wrong with that. As for agreeing on this, it is not permissible. Yes.
