Is fasting permissible today?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

Is fasting permissible today?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, it is Makrooh Tahreemi for one to fast on the “Ayyam al-Tashreeq”.[1]  Therefore, it will not be permissible for one to fast today[2] since it is the last “Day of Tashreeq”.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
