Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A person observing a voluntary fast is master of himself; he may complete his fast or break it, though completing it is preferable. If a woman observes a voluntary fast without her husband's permission, he may call her to bed, and she is obliged to respond. However, if she fasts with his permission, he may not spoil her fast, but if he desires her, it is better for her to respond to him.
