Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Supererogatory Fasts
Observing Voluntary Fasts before Making Up Missed Fasts
Some scholars view that so long as there is sufficient time to make up missed fasts, it is permissible to observe optional fasts.27,113When did the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) come to know that the Jews fasted on ‘Ashura?
16,776Intended to Fast `Ashura but Didn’t Fast It: What to Do?
If you intended to fast `Ashura but you didn’t fast deliberately, you will not get any reward. If you forgot to fast `Ashura, we hope you will get rewarded. If you didn’t fast `Ashura because of sickness, we hope you will get rewarded.27,191Hadiths About the Recommendation to Fast theFirst 10 Days of Dhul-Hijjah
1-The Hadith which reads “Fasting on one of these days (the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah) is equivalent to fasting for a year” has a da‘if isnad (weak chain of transmission) because of an-Nahhas ibn Qaham and and Mas‘ud ibn Wasil 2- The hadith which reads “There are five things that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never failed to do…” is based on the report narrated by Hunaydah ibn Khalid al-Khuza‘i, from whom it was narrated via many isnads, in several versions. The critics of hadith differed as to the classification of this hadith because each of these versions has its own isnad and text. For more, see the detailed answer.44,533Is Intention to Voluntary Fast Mandatory from the Night before?
In the case of a voluntary fast that is not done for a specific reason, it is not stipulated that the intention should be formed from the night before. But in the case of a voluntary fast that is done for a specific reason, it is essential to form the intention from the night before.52,035Fasting Six Days of Shawwal on Mondays and Thursdays
There is nothing wrong fasting the six days of Shawwal on Mondays and Thursdays, and there will be recorded for you the reward of fasting the six days of Shawwal and of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays.35,967Ruling on fasting seven consecutive days voluntarily
54,767Is It Acceptable to Intend Ashura Fasting during the Day?
It is permissible for the one who wants to observe a voluntary fast to form that intention during the day, unlike the obligatory fast, for which it is stipulated that the intention must be formed from the night before.24,552Why Is It Recommended to Fast on the 11th of Muharram as well as ‘Ashura?
1. scholars regarded it as mustahabb to fast on the eleventh of Muharram because it was narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he instructed people to fast on this day. 2. The scholars also mentioned another reason for it being mustahabb to fast on the eleventh, which is to be on the safe side with regard to the tenth day, because people may be mistaken in sighting the new moon of Muharram, and it may not be known exactly which day is the tenth.132,523Combining Making up a Missed Ramadan Fast with Fasting Ashura or ‘Arafah: Permissible?
If a person intends to do the mustahabb action, that will not be acceptable for the obligatory action. If a person fasts with the intention of ‘Ashura, that will not be acceptable as making up for a missed Ramadan fast, but if he intends to make up the missed Ramadan fast and does that on the day of ‘Ashura, then his making up the missed fast will be valid, and there is the hope that he will also attain the reward for ‘Ashura, according to some scholars.112,472
