Is continuity required in fasting three days?

The Shaykh : We return to the author's words: he said, may Allah have mercy on him: "Fasting three days" Is continuity required? No, continuity is not required, because what the Shari'ah has stated in general terms must be taken in its generality. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told Ka'b ibn Ujrah to fast three days and did not specify that they must be consecutive. Regarding the fast for tamattu', Allah the Exalted said: He stated it in general terms and did not require continuity. Accordingly, continuity is not required, neither in the fast for tamattu' nor in the fast for the expiation of harm. Rather, if you wish, you may fast one day after another, and if you wish, you may fast them consecutively; you have the choice. And so we take in general terms what? Everything that the Shari'ah has stated in general terms, because adding a restriction to a general statement without evidence from the Shari'ah narrows the Shari'ah of Allah. For every time you add a restriction, you narrow the scope, is that not so? Do you agree? Every time you add a restriction, you narrow the scope. And it is necessary. Now, if someone asks, "Do you not say that the expiation for oaths is three consecutive days, while Allah the Mighty and Majestic stated it in general terms, saying: The answer is that it is authentically reported from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud that he recited And the recitation of Ibn Mas'ud is a proof, to the extent that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to it, saying: meaning 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud. So, there are four prohibited acts, and the expiation for them is the expiation of harm.
