Voluntary fasting
Voluntary fasting is one of the advantages of the Islamic religion and one of the mercy of God on His servants.
Q / What are the benefits of volunteer fasting?
1) Because voluntary fasting complements the defect resulting from fasting the obligatory fast.
2) It increases man’s faith and reward with God, the Almighty.
Days during which voluntary fasting is enacted:
1 / Fasting the egg days.
That the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, commanded to fast on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth days
- A hadith on the authority of Abu Dhar - may God be pleased with him - who said: The Messenger of God - may God bless him and grant him peace - said:
If you fasted for three times in the month, then fasted three ten, fourteen, and fifteen.) Collected by Ahmad 5/152 and Al-Tirmidhi (761)
The matter here is desirable.
Q / Why is it called the white days?
Its nights are not white with the light of the moon, and this is why the days of the eggs are called the days of the white nights, so the description of the nights, because they are by the light of the moon, they have become white.
* Whether it was at the beginning of the month, in the middle of it, or at the end of the month, and whether it was successive or separate
To talk:
(The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon them, used to fast three days of each month, and Aisha says he does not care whether he fasted it from the beginning, middle, or end of the month. ”(Collected by Muslim 2/818 and Aisha said:“ He did not care which Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who Which month fasts)
If he fasts the three days other than the white days, he will be rewarded, and he will be rewarded for fasting the eternal fast.
Q / Why fasting three days of every month is like fasting the whole age?
According to the hadith: Amr ibn al-Aas, may God be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said:
(Fasting three days of every month is fasting the whole age) (Collected by Al-Bukhari 4/224, and Muslim 2/817)
Because a good deed is ten times as much, so three days are thirty good deeds for a month, and likewise the second and third month, so it is as if he fasted the whole year. (Al-Sharh Al-Mumti 'by Zad Al-Mustaqni by Sheikh Muhammad Al-Uthaymeen 6/463)
2) Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.
Fasting Monday is more important than Thursday, so it is permissible for a person to fast on Mondays and Thursdays of each week
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, explained:
(That they are two days in which the deeds are presented to God Almighty, he said: I would like my work to be raised while I am fasting)) (Collected by Ahmad / 5/2004 and Tirmidhi 2/55, and Hasan Al-Tirmidhi 4 and classed as hasan by Al-Tirmidhi 4/55.
The reward of fasting is volunteering.
His reward God keeps the fire away from him for seventy autumns.
To talk:
(There is no servant who fasts a day in the way of God except that God keeps his face away from the fire on that day) (Narrated by Al-Bukhari (2840) 6/473) Narrated by Muslim (2840) 6/473).
