Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "None of you should fast a day or two before Ramadan. However, if a person has a habit of fasting on a particular day and that day coincides (with these days), then he may fast on that day. (Specifically, it is not permissible to fast with the intention of welcoming Ramadan.)"
