  1. The Fast of Ramadhaan Shareef is Fardh upon every Muslim, except a mentally challenged person and a minor.
  2. As long as a person does not have a valid reason, it is not permissible to leave the fast of Ramadhaan.
  3. If a person takes a vow to fast then the fast becomes Fardh.
  4. Qadha and Kaffaarah Fasts are also Fardh.
  5. Besides these (the Fast of Ramadhaan, a vow to fast, and Qadha and Kaffaarah Fasts), all other fasts are Nafl.
  6. You are rewarded for a Nafl Fast.
  7. There is no sin in not keeping a Nafl fast.
  8. It is haraam to fast on the Two Eids – Eidul Fitr and Eidul Adh-ha – and also the three days following Eidul Adh-ha.
