Postponing the Three Days Fasting to Winter Months

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي عَبْدِ الله أَوْ لأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) الرَّجُلُ يَتَعَمَّدُ الشَّهْرَ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْقِصَارِ يَصُومُهُ لِسَنَةٍ قَالَ لا بَأْسَ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Hassan ibn Rashid who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, about a man who purposely postpones fasting for the times when days of the year are shorter. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful.’”
