Balancing voluntary fasting with family rights
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.”
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».
