The normal fasting that was prescribed by the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam is to fast alternate days! This is the maximum in normal conditions.

However, if a person is afraid that he would inevitably fall in sin, he may fast continuously as this is a precaution

I heard a hadeeth which says that a person who cannot afford to get married should fast and also another hadeeth which says that we should not fast continuously.so if I am fasting for the reason mentioned above, can I fast continuously? Kindly explain.Also, is this fasting fardh on a person?

When one is fasting Fardh and midday experiences menstruation; is she allowed to eat at that moment or must she wait till Maghreb even though the fast is invalid? What if it is nawafil fast like Thursday and Monday fast? Can she eat when the fast is invalidated by menstrual blood ?
