Sufficiency of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays in fulfilling a vow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says: I have made a vow more than once, and I fasted on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Does this suffice?
Answer:
No, a vow must be fulfilled according to its specific nature. If you vowed specific days or a month, you must fulfill it as you vowed. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays does not suffice unless you specifically vowed to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, or you made a general vow to fast a certain number of non-consecutive days. In that case, fasting on Mondays and Thursdays with the intention of fulfilling the vow is sufficient.
