Dr. Zakir: The fast can be broadly categorized into Fard fast that are obligatory and other is the ‘tatau’ fast i.e. the voluntary fast or the non-obligatory fast which InshaAllah we’ll be dealing may be on the episode 31.
As far as the obligatory fast are concerned you can classify it under 4 types.
The first as we are discussing the obligatory fast during the month of Ramadhaan.
The second is if a person misses the fast of Ramadhaan for any reason, cover up the fast missed, its known as Qadha fast.
The third is fasting fro expiation of the sins. If you have committed a sin and you have to fast give a Kaffara. That is the third type. And the fourth is fasting if you are vowed to fast. So these are basically the 4 types of Fard fasting which are there in Islam.
