Fulfilling a vow to fast on the white days if they coincide with the days of Tashriq
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person has a vow to fast on the white days, and they fall in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, is it permissible for him to fast on the thirteenth day, which is one of the days of Tashriq?
Answer:
No, no, he did not make a vow. If he had vowed to fast on the day of Eid, the vow would be binding on him. No, no, if a person vows to disobey Allah, he must not disobey Him. Fasting on the days of Eid is a disobedience, and the days of Tashriq are days of Eid, days of eating, drinking, and remembering Allah. They are not to be fasted except for the blood of Tamattu' or Qiran. If one is unable to slaughter, he fasts for three days, even if they fall on the days of Tashriq. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: It was not permitted to fast on the days of Tashriq except for the blood of Tamattu' or Qiran.
