The Importance of Fasting during the Restricted Months in Islam

A man, fatigued from a year of continuous fasting, approached Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to seek guidance. When asked why he had tortured himself, the Prophet emphasized moderation, suggesting fasts during Ramadan and one day each month. As the man insisted on fasting more, the Prophet allowed three days of fasting each month, advising endurance within the limits. He also clarified that non-fasting is permissible for the elderly and sick, who should feed the needy for each day missed. This guidance highlights the balance between devotion and self-care.

  2. The man was silent and did not find an answer. Our prophet (peace be upon him) said: " you can fast during the month of patience (Ramadan) and one day of each month". The man said: allow me to fast more I still have the strength to do so. Our prophet (peace be upon him) said: “fast two days of each month”.

  3. The man said: allow me to fast more. Our prophet (peace be upon him) said: " you can fast three days of each month". The man said: allow me to fast more. Our prophet (peace be upon him) said: "fast during the restricted months for a while and stop“ (narrated by Abu Dawood).
