الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

Voluntary fasting “nafli roza” is prohibited on five (5) days:

a. Eid-ul-Fitr

b. Eid-ul-Adh’ha

c. Three days of “Tashreeq” “Ayyam-e-Tashreeq”.

If one of the above days falls on a Monday or Thursday, fasting on that day must be abandoned.

أَمَّا الصِّيَامُ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْمَكْرُوهَةِ فَمِنْهَا: صَوْمُ يَوْمَيْ الْعِيدِ، وَأَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ.  وَاحْتَجَّ بِالنَّهْيِ الْوَارِدِ عَنْ الصَّوْمِ فِيهَا وَهُوَ مَا رَوَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ - عَنْ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَلَا لَا تَصُومُوا فِي هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ فَإِنَّهَا أَيَّامُ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ وَبِعَالٍ» .وَالنَّهْيُ لِلتَّحْرِيمِ وَلِأَنَّهُ عَيَّنَ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ لِأَضْدَادِ الصَّوْمِ فَلَا تَبْقَى مَحَلًّا لِلصَّوْمِ، (بدائع الصنائع ،۲ /۷۸
