KINDS OF FASTING
Fasting is divided into two kinds: Fard, the obligatory fast, and Tatau'u, any non-obligatory fast. The obligatory fast is categorized as three kinds:
(1) fasting the month of Ramadan
(2) fasting to expiate for religious offenses
(3) fasting to fulfill a vow
Of the three, fasting the month of Ramadan is the most important; so we will devote most of the discussion to it in our book.
