Postponing the Three Days Fasting to Winter Months

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim ibn Mahziyar from Husayn ibn abu Hamzah who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, if I can delay fasting of three days of every month to fast in winter. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”

3. Ahmad ibn Idris and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who owes three days of fasting of every month if it is proper for him to delay and fast in the end of the month. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’ I then asked, ‘Should he fast with intervals in between or without it? He (the Imam) said, ‘Whichever way he likes, with or without interval as he chooses.’”
