Fasting
three days and nights in substitute for the thirty days of
Ramadhaan
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it possible for a person to fast three
days and nights in Ramadhaan, such that this becomes a substitute
for (the) thirty days (of Ramadhaan)?
Response:
This is not permissible and none of the people of knowledge
(scholars) have said this. This is because the night is not
the time for fasting, and he who does so is regarded as one
who opposes the pure Sharee'ah
by introducing something which Allaah has not legislated and
as such ends up not fasting in Ramadhaan without (a valid
Islaamic) reason. Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta'aala) has legislated
upon able and qualified Muslims to fast all of Ramadhaan,
and it is not sufficient to fast part of it in place of the
rest.
And
with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
