This research aims to clarify the Islamic rulings related to fasting during certain disfavored times, in order to prevent any innovation that contradicts Sharia. The study examines all the periods during which fasting has been deemed disfavored with the purpose of preventing innovations contrary to Sharia, presenting the opinions of the jurists on these issues along with a discussion and weighing of evidence based on proofs and arguments.
The research problem is represented by the study and analysis of the juristic opinions that define the disfavoring of fasting at these times, while elucidating the underlying Sharia wisdom.
The researcher adopted a descriptive, inductive, and deductive-analytical comparative approach by tracking the issues of the research and its scientific material, analyzing and comparing them to reach the most sound opinion, without reviewing other positions that were not considered disfavored.
The study is structured beginning with an introduction, followed by several main sections. One section focuses on defining the elements of the title and clarifying its concept. Another section discusses the deliberate allocation of fasting in the month of Rajab and the exaggeration of its practice, thereby giving it undue prominence. A further section examines the deliberate performance of the voluntary fast on the day of doubt. In addition, the research addresses fasting on the day of Arafah or the day of Trowiyah for the pilgrim. Finally, the conclusion presents the most important results and recommendations. Among several conclusions, the most significant is the researcher’s endorsement of the times deemed disfavored – as mentioned above – with the aim of preventing any innovation contrary to Sharia, supported by conclusive evidence, without discussing other opinions that were not considered disfavored, as will be further clarified in this research.
