The ruling on encouraging people to fast collectively for voluntary fasts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence! What is your opinion regarding encouraging the general public to fast voluntary fasts and holding collective iftar gatherings?
The Shaykh : I see that there is nothing wrong with it, but it is better to leave it; because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not resort to these methods. If people are encouraged to fast voluntary fasts through words, that is sufficient instead of encouraging them through actions.
