Prohibition to fast a day or two before Ramadan

The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should fast ˹a voluntary fast˺ a day or two before the month of Ramadan unless he has the habit of fasting ˹such days voluntarily˺ then he may fast that day."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ رَمَضَانَ بِصَوْمِ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمَهُ فَلْيَصُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ۔»

"None should fast one or two days ahead of the month except, someone who had a prior habit for fasting, in which case let him fast." '

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدٌ الشَّهْرَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلاَ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صِيَامًا قَبْلَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ

"The messenger of Allah said: 'Do not fast one or two days ahead of the month, unless that happens to be a day that one of you habitually fasts."' Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai) said: This is a mistake. '

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَتَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ وَلاَ يَوْمَيْنِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُوَافِقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمًا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ

"Do not fast one or two days ahead of the month, unless the one who used to observe a regular fast. In that case let him fast." '

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَلاَ لاَ تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِيَوْمٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صِيَامًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ

‘Do not anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before, except for a man who has a habitual pattern of fasting, in which case let him fast.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1650)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَقَدَّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْرَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلَّا رَجُل كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ

‘Do not anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before, except for a man who has a habitual pattern of fasting, in which case let him fast.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1650)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَقَدَّمُوا رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا بِيَوْمَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ

"None should fast one or two days ahead of the month except, someone who had a prior habit for fasting, in which case let him fast." ' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2173)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَتَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ بِصِيَامِ يَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنْ يُوَافِقَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمًا كَانَ يَصُومُهُ أَحَدُكُمْ»
