In Which Year of Hijrah Was Fasting Enjoined?

Question: 37649

In which year was fasting enjoined upon the Muslims?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

Fasting the month of Ramadan was enjoined in 2 AH, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fasted nine Ramadans. 

Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmu’ (6/250)” 

“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fasted Ramadan for nine years, because it was enjoined in Sha’ban 2 AH, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died in Rabi’ al-Awwal 11 AH.” 

And Allah knows best.
