Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I have heard from the people of knowledge that there is nothing wrong with fasting continuously, as long as one does not fast on those days in which the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, has prohibited fasting. And those are three days while staying in Mina, that is, the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah, and one is the day of Fitr and one is the day of Adha, and this is what we prefer.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade fasting on two days: one is the day of Eid al-Fitr and the other is the day of Eid al-Adha.
