Taking an oath to fast consecutively

· 14 Safar 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I made an oath to Allah that I would fast for 5 consecutive days if a particular event took place. I fasted the 5 days but not consecutively. Is my oath fulfilled?

Answer

Since you did not fast for five days consecutively, your oath has not been fulfilled. In order to fulfil your oath, you should fast for five days consecutively.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
