789. Āishah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever stays with a people, then he is not to fast without their permission." (Ḍa'if)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Munkar (objectionable), we do not know any of the trustworthy narrators who narrated it from Hishām bin 'Urwah. Mūsā bin Dāwūd reported similar to this from Abū Bakr Al-Madānī, from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, from Āishah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Ḥadīth is also weak. Abū Bakr is weak according to the scholars of Ḥadīth. (As for) Abū Bakr (Al-Madānī), the one who reports from Jābir bin 'Abdullāh; his name is Al-Faḍl bin Mubashshir, and he is more trustworthy than this one, and lived earlier.

Commentary
If fasting as a guest creates difficulty for the host and he will have to make special arrangements for breaking the fast and for the predawn meal, in this case he should not observe voluntary fast. If the host can make preparation with pleasure, easily and without painstaking work, then there is no harm. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi: 2/67)
