The White Days

The White Days are specific days of each Arabic month; they are holy days according to the prophet Mohammed. These days are 13th, 14th and 15th of every month in the Islamic calendar.

They are called White Days because of the colour of the moon on these days. The moon becomes very white and can be seen by the naked eye.[1]

Fasting

Fasting on the white days is Mustahabb (duties recommended, but not essential). The reward for fasting is as great as fasting all the days of the year, when the fasting of these days continues, then the reward for fasting three days is equivalent to fasting a month, which is a good ten times more than without harming or damaging the fast of the whole month. There is a source in Hadith (by) Abu Dharr, may God be pleased with him, who said: The Prophet Muhammad, may God's prayers and peace be upon him, said to him: “If you fast from the month three days, then thirteen, fourteenth, and fifteen”. From the month three days, a good deed is ten times the same, such as fasting an eternity ... and it is narrated that “the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, used to fast for several three days of every month.”[2]
