What Are The Days of Fasting in Islam?

What Are The Days of Fasting in Islam? We are waiting the days to the next Ramadan, and we feel at a loss most of the time. Although any person can fast anytime of the year, there are days that are particularly referred to and that are more rewarding in the event that one engages in the act of fasting.

1. 6 Days in Shawal

Shawwal is the month right after Ramadan, and the month presents a great opportunity to go on with the good habits acquired during Ramadan.

2. Mondays and Thursdays

Aishah said, “The Prophet would attempt to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.”

3. Fridays

The day that is the most blessed is Friday. Good deeds rewards are fructified, though it is not necessary to fast Friday only, but a combination with Friday and Saturday should exist.

4. The White Days (Ayam Al-Beedh)

Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas said: The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me: It is sufficient that you fast three days in a month, because of each good deed that you will have (the reward of) ten like it, and that will be like a lifetime fasting.'”

5. Day of Ashura – 10th of Muharram

The first month of the Islamic calendar, the 10th of Muharram, is the celebration of the day Allah rescued his prophet, Prophet Musa, peace be upon him, and his followers from their enemies. Muharram is no better a day to break a fast than after Ramadan.

6. Arafah – 9th of Dhul-Hijjah

The first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah (at the 10th is the Eid Al-Adha) are advisable as fasting to those who do not perform the Hajj. Specifically, we have the Day of Arafah, which is the 9 th of Dhul-Hijjah, and this is highly recommended.

7. Shaban

The month of Shaban is a month before the month of Ramadan and is a good time to prepare for the month of Ramadan, not only spiritually but also physically.

General voluntary fasts

Days of Fasting in Islam? The Prophet, peace be upon him, would fast sporadically throughout the year, with the exception of the days when it is prohibited to fast, which are the two days of Eid and the three days of Al-Tashreeq (the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth of Dhul-Hijjah).
