1 However. a woman should not fast (optional<br />

fast) except with the permission <strong>of</strong> her husband. Abu Hurairah<br />

narrated that the Prophet said, "A woman should not fast (optional<br />

fast) except with her husband's permission if he is at home (staying<br />

with her).<br />

2 This is because fasting may prevent him from practising<br />

his marital rights as a husband. The only reason for insisting on this<br />

point is because a wife dantigg herself to her husband in this respect -<br />

may make him commit adultery.<br />
