(6) Akwai azumin da dole ne a yi shi a jere, kamar azumin Ramadan, ko azumin kaffara saboda kisan kai ba da gangan ba, ko saki ta hanyar zihaar [wani nau'in saki na zamanin jahiliyya wanda namiji ke cewa wa matarsa, "Kin zama a gare ni kamar bayan mahaifiyata" – Mai fassara], ko yin jima'i da rana a cikin Ramadan. Haka nan, wanda ya yi alkawarin yin azumin kwanaki a jere dole ne ya cika shi.

(6) There is the kind of fasting that must be done on consecutive days, like fasting in Ramadaan, or fasting to expiate for killing someone by mistake, divorcing one’s wife by zihaar [a jaahili form of divorce in which a man says to his wife, “You are to me as the back of my mother” – Translator], or having intercourse during the day in Ramadaan. Also, one who makes a vow to fast consecutive days must fulfil it.

Akwai kuma wani nau'in azumin da ba sai an yi shi a jere ba, kamar rama kwanakin Ramadan da aka rasa, azumin kwana goma idan mutum bai da hadaya, azumin kaffarar rantsuwa (a cewar mafi yawan malamai), azumin ramuwar take sharuddan ihram (a cewar ra'yi mafi inganci), da azumin cika alkawarin nazari a lokacin da mutum bai yi niyyar yin azumin kwanaki a jere ba.

There is also the other kind of fasting which does not have to be done on consecutive days, such as making up days missed in Ramadaan, fasting ten days if one does not have a sacrifice, fasting for kafaarat yameen (according to the majority), fasting to compensate for violating the conditions of ihraam (according to the most correct opinion), and fasting in fulfilment of a vow in cases where one did not have the intention of fasting consecutive days.

Misalan azumin nafila sun hada da azumin ranar ‘Aashooraa, azumin ranar ‘Arafah, Ayyaam al-Beed [ranakun 13, 14 da 15 na watannin hijira – Mai fassarawa], azumin ranar Litinin da Alhamis, azumin kwana shida na watan Shawwaal, da kuma yin azumi sosai a watannin Muharram da Sha’baan.

(7) Voluntary fasts make up for any shortfall in obligatory fasts. Examples of voluntary fasts include ‘Aashooraa, ‘Arafaah, Ayyaam al-Beed [the 13th, 14th and 15th of the hijri months – Translator], Mondays and Thursdays, six days of Shawwaal, and fasting more during Muharram and Sha’baan.

Ba a halatta a yi azumi tsawon rayuwa ba, ko a yi azumin kwana biyu ko fiye ba tare da hutu ba, watau a yi azumin kwana biyu ko uku ba tare da hutu a tsakaninsu ba.

(8) It is not permitted to single out a Friday for fasting (al-Bukhaari, Fath al-Baari, no. 1985), or to fast on a Saturday, unless it is an obligatory fast (reported and classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi, 3/111) – what is meant is singling it out without a reason. It is not permitted to fast for an entire lifetime, or to fast for two days or more without a break, i.e., to fast two or three days without a break in between.

Haramun ne a yi azumi a ranakun Idi biyu, ko a Ayyaamut-Tashreeq, wato ranakun 11, 12 da 13 ga watan Zul-Hijjah, saboda waɗannan kwanaki ne na ci da sha da ambaton Allah, amma ya halatta ga wanda ba shi da hadaya ya yi azumin Ayyaamut-Tashreeq a Mina.

It is haraam to fast on the two Eid days, or on the Ayyaam al-Tashreeq, which are the 11th , 12th and 13th of Dhoo’l-Hijjah, because these are the days of eating and drinking and remembering Allaah, but it is permissible for the one who does not have a sacrifice to fast them (Ayyaam al-Tashreeq) in Mina.
