Arabic text

2379 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَا يُفْطِرُ نَهَارًا الدَّهْرَ، قَالَ: «لَا صَامَ وَلَا أَفْطَرَ»

Commentary

Fasting perpetually is against inherent human nature, because it would detrimentally undermine one's fulfillment of the rights of human beings. Besides, it would cause undeserved physical weakness, it would spoil the means of livelihood. Hence, continued fasting is not allowed.
