The Fiqh of Fasting: 6.9 When Fasting is Haram

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

6.9 When Fasting is Haram

It is haram to fast on ‘Id al-Fitr, ‘Id al-Adha, and the Days of Tashriq [11th, 12th and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah]. A fast begun on those days does not become wajib. However, if someone makes a vow to observe the fast on those days, or on every day of the year then, in both cases, one will have to braek one’s fast and [later] make it up on a different day. If one continues with the fast, one will be doing wrong; but the vow will be fulfilled and one will not have to make up the fast.







The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa'sallam said:
"The Muslim is a unique Ummah among the whole of mankind:
Their Land is ONE, their War is ONE, their Peace is ONE,
Their Honour is ONE and their Trust is ONE."
[Ahmad]
