The Ruling on the Family’s Collective Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Shaykh, about the family fasting collectively on Mondays and Thursdays at home?
Answer:
Associating with the family, or with brothers, or with colleagues—associating with them in this way is not permissible. Rather, each person fasts on his own, without agreement and without a collective breaking of the fast, which they call collective fasting. All of this has no basis. Each person fasts and breaks his fast on his own. Yes.
