The ruling on fasting three days of every month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q501: The questioner asks: What is the meaning of the hadith: Riyad as-Salihin 1260, and are these days specified within the month?
A501: At any time of the month, but it is better that they be the white days: the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth, as a substitute for fasting the entire year; because one day is like ten of its like, so one day equals ten days, and the month equals thirty. If one fasts three days of every month, it is as if he fasted the whole year.
Observing Saum (fasting) on three days of every month is equivalent to a full month's
