What Is Fasting Ayyamul Bidh? Meaning, Evidence, Intention, and Its Virtues

Fasting ayyamul bidh is a recommended sunnah fast on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the Hijri month, except the 13th of Dzulhijjah which coincides with the Days of Tashriq. It is highly encouraged based on the hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Messenger of Allah said, "Fasting three days every month is like fasting the whole year" (HR Bukhari). The intention for the fast: "Nawaitu shauma ayyamil bidl lilahi ta'ala" (I intend to fast Ayyamul Bidh for the sake of Allah the Almighty). Its virtues include getting the reward of fasting for an entire year, following the example of the Prophet, restraining desires, and receiving a direct reward from Allah SWT. The majority of scholars recommend doing it consecutively, but it's okay to do it non-consecutively as long as it's still three days in a month. https://mozaik.inilah.com/ibadah/apa-itu-puasa-ayyamul-bidh-ini-pengertian-dalil-niat-dan-keutamaannya

The fast itself isn’t hard, it’s just 3 days. The reward equals a whole year’s worth - you’d really miss out if you skip it.

This is seriously awesome, makes me want to keep up with the sunnah fasting every month. The ayyamul bidh is light but the reward is huge.

Thank God it’s been regular every month now, my body feels lighter and my heart’s more at ease. I only do it for Allah’s sake.

I usually fast on Mondays and Thursdays, now I’m thinking of trying to add the ayyamul bidh too. Just to get a bit closer to the Prophet’s sunnah.
