The Ruling on Fulfilling a Vow
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man made a vow to fast the white days of every month, but the man suffers from excessive thirst. If he stops, what is required of him?
If a person vows to fast three days of every month, it is obligatory for him to fast three days of every month; because fasting is an act of obedience, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him) But it is not necessary for them to be consecutive, if he did not stipulate that they be consecutive, there is nothing wrong with fasting one day at the beginning of the month, one day in the middle, and one day at the end, and this makes it easier for him. I do not think anyone is unable to fast one day in the week.
