Should the fasts of a vow be kept in succession?

· 11 Safar 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I made a niyat to Allah Ta'ala that if one of my wishes are granted then I will keep 7 fasts for thanking Him. Now I have forgotten whether I made niyat for fasting 7 days continously or not, please advise?

Answer

Keep them as you wish, consecutively or on different days.

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