685. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Do not precede the month of Ramaḍān by fasting a day or two before it, unless it is the case of a man who normally performs some fast, then let him fast it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٦٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقَدَّمُوا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ بِصِيَامٍ قَبْلَهُ بِيَوْمٍ أَوْ يَوْمَيْنِ»، إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَصُومُ صَوْمًا فَلْيَصُمْهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

It is prohibited to fast a day or two days for welcoming Ramaḍān, before the arrival of Ramaḍān. However, if a day before Ramaḍān coincides with one's regular fasting, for example: a person fasts every Monday and Thursday, and Monday or Thursday occurs just before the commencement of Ramaḍān, then he may fast on such a day.
