What are the conditions for one to fast

 What are the conditions for one to fast 

Alhamdulillah, the conditions for fasting are,

1.one should be a Muslim.

2. Reaches maturity and in Islam, puberty starts from seven years.

3. One should be sound minded and not out of his senses.

4. One should be healthy and strong to fast

5. One should not be a traveller and a residence 

Although a traveller is not obliged not to fast,it is a mercy from Allah to him because travelling is a found of punishment.

These are conditions.

And let's look at one hadith on fasting,

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a shelter). So, the person observing fastingshould avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should tell him twice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.".

Sahih al-Bukhari 1894.

Fasting is a shield against any evil.

And fasting is only for Allah and he alone knows the reward of the fasting person..
