Fasting is 🚫not allowed in 5️⃣ days during the year.

1) 2) The days of two Eids. ( 1st Shawwal Eid ul Fitr + 10th Dhul Hijjah Eid ul Adha )

3) 4) 5) The days of tashreeq (that is the three days following the Eid al-Adha 11,12 & 13 Dhul Hijjah).

Many people complying the Sunnah, fast on Monday but 🚫tomorrow being 13 Dhul Hijjah fasting is NOT valid.🚫

📖Hazrat Umar testifies: The Messenger of Allah has forbidden fasting on these two days. Concerning the Eid of breaking the fast (Eid al-Fitr), it is for you to break your fast. On the Eid of sacrifice (Eid al Adha), you should eat from what you sacrifice.” (Ahmad, Nasa’i, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah)

📒Regarding impermissibiity of three days following the Eid al-Adha. Hazrat Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him has said) sent Abdullah ibn Hudhaqah to announce at Mina:” You are not to fast these days. They are days of eating and drinking and remembering Allah.” (Ahmad)
