Balancing voluntary fasting with family rights

abudawud:2432Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān al-ʿIjlī > ʿUbaydullāh / Ibn Mūsá > Hārūn b. Salmān > ʿUbaydullāh b. Muslim al-Qurashī from his father

I asked or the Prophet ﷺ was asked about fasting continuously for a lifetime, and he said: “Indeed, your family has a right over you. Fast Ramadan and what follows it, and every Wednesday and Thursday; then, if you do that, you will have fasted for a lifetime.”

Abu Dawud said: Zayd al-‘Ukli agreed with him, and Abu Nu‘aym disagreed with him. Muslim ibn ‘Ubayd Allah said:

أبو داود:٢٤٣٢حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَى عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ أَوْ سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ لِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا، صُمْ رَمَضَانَ وَالَّذِي يَلِيهِ، وَكُلَّ أَرْبِعَاءَ وَخَمِيسٍ، فَإِذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ».

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَافَقَهُ زَيْدٌ الْعُكْلِيُّ وَخَالَفَهُ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ
