The ruling on one who habitually fasts voluntary fasts and then becomes unable to do so

Question:
From the Arab Republic of Egypt, Sharqia Governorate, the listener Bahaa Ahmad Muhammad Ahmad asks and says: I am committed—praise be to Allah—to this, and I am consistent in prayer. I fast the three days of every month, and I also fast on Mondays and Thursdays. I experienced fatigue, so I stopped doing that. Is there a sin on me given the situation I described? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no blame on you for that. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, and the white days, are all a recommended practice (sunnah); they are all recommended (mustahabb) voluntary acts. Whoever fasts gets a reward, and whoever leaves them off owes nothing. Even if he was fasting and then stopped, there is no blame on him, even if he is healthy and not tired. Whoever fasts gets a reward, and whoever leaves them off owes nothing. However, it is better to continue if it is easy for him; it is better to continue and be consistent in doing good. Otherwise, there is no blame if he breaks the fast on some days and does not fast, or if he breaks the fast on some of the white days and does not fast them, or if he fasts on days other than the white days, and so on. The same applies to the six days of Shawwal: if he was fasting them and then stopped, there is no blame.

The intended meaning : They are voluntary acts... they are voluntary acts. Whoever wishes may fast, and that is better, and he gets a reward. And whoever breaks the fast has no blame on him, even if he is healthy. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
