am I allowed to fast every Monday and Thursday for the rest of Sha’baan? I started on the 12th which was a Thursday then also fasted Friday, Saturday and Sunday as they were the 3 white days. I made an intention to continue fasting every Monday/Thursday and every white day for as long as possible Insha’Allah, so would be allowed to carry on or not?

There are no basis of “shab-e-barat”and”shab-e-mairaj”in Quran and Hadis and it’s written no where that we should celebrate it or fast on those days. So the pansuras/Islamic books which show the nawafils and ayats we should read on those particular days so r all those pansuras/books nauzubillah wrong? Bcz if there is no basis of these events in Islam so from where did these nawafil come?

Last year we followed a prayer calendar and fasted accordingto it. For some reason we then followed another calendar where suhoor was later because we were not sure if fajr was in correct time. Then we again returned to the old calendar cause it was safer. Do we have to make up those fasted days because we ate suhoor later and maybe fajr had already began?

Please could you advise regarding the times we have for fasting in the UK. Most masajid I believe will do end of suhur at around 3am but there are few masajid who will use 1am. I have read this is due to the 15 and 18 degree rulings but I don’t understand them. Please can you advise what we should do as this creates differences within families etc. Jazak Allah khair Wasalaam

This is a valid reason. No need to make up nawafil fast. Moreover, Nawafil are not obligatory fasts and one can break them without making them up again.

Your question is not clear! Once the dawn breaks, the adhan is called. Once it is called, you must not drink or eat and must fast whether you had prayed fajr or not.
