Will one be rewarded for having intended to observe a supererogatory fast but was prevented from doing so?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If by "family" the parents are meant, then obedience to them takes precedence over supererogatory fasting. One who is prevented by their parents from observing a supererogatory fast should break it, and they will still be rewarded for the fasting. Obey your parents from the outset, without needing food to be placed before you.
