Fasting on ‘Id Days and during the Bright Days of the Month: 11, 12 and 13

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from abu Sa‘id al-Mukariy from Ziyad ibn abu al-Hallal who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, once said to us, ‘Fasting is not proper during three days after al- Adha’ (10th of Duh al-Hajjah) as well as after al-Fitr (the first day of the month of Shawwal); they are the days for eating and drinking.”’

3. Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya and Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan عليه السلام, about the case of the two days after al-Fitr; if fasting is permissible therein. He (the Imam) said, ‘I do not like for you to fast on those days.’”
