WHEN IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO FAST VOLUNTARILY ON A FRIDAY

1812

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, visited me (Lady Juwairiah, wife of the Prophet, Mother of Believers may Allah be pleased with her) on a Friday and found me fasting. He asked, ‘Did you fast yesterday?’ I replied, ‘No.’ He asked, ‘Do you intend to observe the fast tomorrow?’ I replied, ‘No.’ So he told me, ‘In that case give up your fast today.’

Bukhari with a chain up to Lady Juwairiah, daughter of Al Harith, wife of the Prophet, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

PROHIBITION OF THE CONTINUOUS FASTING OF MORE THAN A DAY WITHOUT BREAKING IT
