Book Eight: The Book of Virtues Chapter 219- The Prohibition of Observing Saum (Fasting) after the Middle of Shaban 1224. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, Do not observe Saum (fasting) for a day or two days preceding Ramadan. However, if a person is in the habit of observing Saum on a particular day (which may fall on these dates), he may fast on that day. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary: However, if a person is in the habit of observing Saum on a particular day means that if it is his routine to observe Saum on these days, then he can do so two days before the advent of Ramadan. The reason being that in that case his Saum will not be for the reception of Ramadan but a matter of routine. Some people have taken one or two days before to mean the first two days of the second half of Shawwal on the grounds that some Ahadith contain prohibition of observing Saum in the second fortnight of Shawwal. Because of this injunction, it is not permissible to observe Saum in these days, except in case it is ones routine. 8- كتَاب الفَضَائِل 219- باب النهي عن تقدم رمضان بصوم بعد نصف شعبان إِلاَّ لمن وصله بما قبله أَوْ وافق عادة لَهُ بأن كَانَ عادته صوم الإثنين والخميس فوافقه 1224- عن أَبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، قَالَ: ((لاَ يَتَقَدَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُم رَمَضَانَ بِصَوْمِ يَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ، إِلاَّ أنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَومَهُ، فَليَصُمْ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمَ)) متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ. أخرجه: البخاري 3/35 (1914)، ومسلم 3/125 (1082) (21).
