Confused about WHEN to fast....

~Ali_

Fixing da foundation
Assalamualaikum,

I was told by my father that I am only allowed to fast 3 days a month.... and I was like but.. aren't we meant to fast on Mondays and Thursdays?

and whats the ruling if your not married, but your meant to fast so it'll diminish your energy? when are you meant to fast then?

So simplified, where is the proof that I am only meant to fast 3 days a month?
and what about fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, have I been doing something wrong? I am not married, so when should i fast? only on Mondays and Thursdays? or 3 days a month?

I have read the book
"Seventy Matters Related to Fasting - Sheikh Muhammad Salih Al‐Munajjid"

it mentioned nothing about fasting 3 days a month...

Please help me clear this confusion :SMILY309:

to Allah we belong
masha'allah brother u found the answer.

but to clarify for others, we can fast on mondays and thursdays.

and 13, 14, and 15th of muslim calendar's month.

of course we can fast more than 3 days per month.

best is alternate days fasting and one who fasts daily is like who dont fast at all.
