Our sister says: Sometimes I do not fast on the three white days due to a legal excuse or circumstances that arise for me, so I fast them at the beginning of the month.

Question:
Our sister says: Sometimes I do not fast on the three white days due to a legal excuse or circumstances that arise for me, so I fast them at the beginning of the month, or at the end of the month.
Is the reward for this fasting the same as the reward for one who fasts the white days? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Fasting the three days is recommended, whether at the beginning of the month, in the middle, or at the end. In many authentic hadiths, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised fasting three days of every month, without specifying their place in the month, whether at the beginning, middle, or end. This is how it came in the authentic hadiths. He advised Abu Hurayrah, Abu al-Darda, and others to fast three days of every month, and he advised 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr to do so. However, in some hadiths, the advice was specifically for the white days, which are the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth.
So, fasting the white days is better if it is easy to do; otherwise, a person should fast on the other days of the month, and praise be to Allah. All of them are great and virtuous days with a great reward, but fasting the white days is better if it is easy, if that is possible. Yes.
