Question

Please tell me sunnah of nafal roza. Is it on monday thursday .. some say 13th 14h 15th of islamic month. As i want to fast in accordance with sunnah sallah hoo alleh wasalaam. please guide me

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There are narrations that prove that it is sunnah to fast on the 13th, 14th and 15th of every month.

(Jami’ Al Tirmizi Vol.1 Pg.159 – H.M. Sa’eed Company)

There are also narrations that prove that it is sunnah to fast on Mondays and Thursdays.

(Jami’ Al Tirmizi Vol.1 Pg.157 – H.M. Sa’eed Company)

It is understood from the abovementioned that both practices are proven through the Ahadith of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Therefore, both will be regarded as sunnah. You could practice on any one of them or both of them, if you have the strength to do so.

And Allah knows best
