When to Fast Abu Huraira raḍyAllāhu anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting” [al-Tirmidhi]. In another hadith, Abu Dharr raḍyAllāhu anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said to me: “If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth” [al-Tirmidhi]. Note: there are some days which it is forbidden and disliked to fast on, so please ask an imam or scholar if you are unsure. So let us follow the Sunnah of our Prophet ṣallallāhu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) and fast on Mondays and Thursdays of every week and/or on the 13, 14 and 15th of every month. By the way, once you do this for a while, performing voluntary fasts will become a beautiful habit and routine in your life.
