Is it permissible to fast the vowed days consecutively instead of fasting them on Mondays and Thursdays?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The conditional vow is disliked, but it must be fulfilled if the condition it was tied to occurs, because of the Almighty's saying: "And let them fulfill their vows," and because of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey Him." Therefore, one must fast every Monday and Thursday for a month, and nothing else will suffice because they were specified.
