Fasting on the Day of the Prophet's Birthday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is said: May Allah guide you, O honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to fast on the Day of the Prophet's Birthday?
Answer:
Answer: No. Fasting is only what Allah and His Messenger prescribed, and it has not been prescribed for us to fast on this day. Yes, you fast on Mondays; it is not on the 12th of Rabi' [al-Awwal]; you fast on every Monday of the week; this is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the 12th of Rabi' [al-Awwal], if it falls on a Monday, you rejoice because it is the day of the birthday. No, this is not permissible.
