    Question: Can we do Fasting (Roza) on the day of birth of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) i.e 12 Rabbi ul Awwal?

    Answer ID: 112

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 169/M= 171/M)

    It is allowed to observe fast on 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal, but there is no special virtue or reward of fasting in this particular day from any Hadith, therefore one should not consider it as necessary.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
