1650. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not anticipate Ramadān by fasting one or two days before, except for a man who has a habitual pattern of fasting, in which case let him fast.' (Sahih)
1650 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، وَالْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقَدَّمُوا صِيَامَ رَمَضَانَ بِيَوْمٍ وَلَا يَوْمَيْنِ، إِلَّا رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَيَصُومُهُ»

a. One form of prohibited fasting is one day before the beginning of Ramadân, and it is on a day of doubt, whether it is the thirtieth of Sha'bân or the first of Ramadân; because, Islamically, the appearance of the new crescent has not been confirmed by a witness. It is forbidden to observe fast on this day with the intention that if it is proven later to be the first of Ramadân, then it will count towards the fasting of Ramadân, otherwise it will be considered a voluntary fast. b. Another form of fasting a day before Ramadân is that one observes fast despite the certainty that Ramadân has yet not begun; thus obligatory and non-obligatory combined together which is impermissible. Moreover this action apparently is like an addition into the obligatory worship.
