The ruling on fasting a vowed month consecutively or intermittently
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm Sarah, may Allah bless you. She says: I was ill, and after recovering I intended to fast a month. Praise be to Allah, Allah the Exalted healed me. Then I fasted five days and stopped. Is it permissible for me to fast consecutively or intermittently?
Answer:
If you said a month, it must be continuous, because a month is known to be continuous. So you must start over and fast the month continuously. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
