Forbidding Continuous Fasting

Forbidding Continuous Fasting, Which Is to Fast Two or More Days without Eating or Drinking between Them

835. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade continuous fasting. They said, ‘But you fast continuously.’ He said, ‘I am not like you. I am fed and given to drink.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sawm, 48; Sahih Muslim, Siyam, 56).
