The Ruling on Fasting the Days of Tashriq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abdullah, asks about the ruling on fasting the days of Tashriq, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
It is not permissible to fast on the days of Tashriq except in the case of the one performing tamattu' who did not find a sacrificial animal and did not fast three days before the day of the festival; in that case, he fasts them on the days of Tashriq. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
a fast of three days during Hajjفَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فِي الْحَجِّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
and the hadith that no dispensation was given to fast on the days of Tashriq except for the blood of tamattu' or separation. May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh.
