Fatwa number ( 15770 )
Q: What is the ruling on fasting on the Days of Tashriq for the pilgrim and for the non-pilgrim? The thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah is the last of the Days of Tashriq and the first of the white days. Is it permissible for one who habitually fasts the white days to fast? I ask your eminence to provide me with a written fatwa to publish for the brothers who are asking about this matter.
A: Fasting on the Days of Tashriq is among the days on which the Lawgiver has forbidden voluntary fasting for the pilgrim and for others. As for the non-pilgrim, this is based on what Muslim narrated from Nubayshah al-Hudhali , who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 5:38 And what Abu Dawud narrated in his (Sunan) from 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2418Sahih (Al-Albani) Malik said in (al-Muwatta'): These are the Days of Tashriq. And what
Abu Murr, the freed slave of Umm Hani , narrated: As for the pilgrim performing tamattu' who did not find the sacrificial animal, and likewise the one performing qiran, he fasts them; based on what is established in the book of al-Bukhari , (may Allah have mercy on him), from Ibn 'Umar and 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with them), who both said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1997, 1998 And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

The days of Tashriq (the three days following 'Idul Ad-ha, i.e. 11th , 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) are days of eating, drinking and remembering (dhikr) of Allah, the Most Great and Glorious.
أيام التشريق أيام أكل وشرب وذكر لله عز وجلthese are the days on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to command us to break fast, and forbid us to keep fast
هذه الأيام التي كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأمر بإفطارها وينهى عن صيامهاAbu Murr, the freed slave of Umm Hani , narrated:
He entered with 'Abd Allah ibn 'Amr upon his father 'Amr ibn al-'As, so he offered them food. He said: "Eat." He said: "I am fasting." 'Amr said: "Eat, for these are the days on which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order people to break their fast and forbid them from fasting."
أنه دخل مع عبد الله بن عمرو على أبيه عمرو بن العاص ، فقرب إليهما طعامًا، فقال: كل، فقال: إني صائم، فقال عمرو: كل فهذه الأيام التي كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأمر بإفطارها وينهى عن صيامهاNobody was allowed to fast on the days of Tashriq except those who could not afford the Hadi (Sacrifice).
لم يرخص في أيام التشريق أن يصمن إلا لمن لم يجد الهدي
