Wisal (connected fasting) is fasting for two days without breaking oneโ€™s fast in between with food and drink. It’s disliked according to most scholars and forbidden according to Shafaโ€™i.

Anas (ra) narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said, โ€œDo not perform wisal.โ€ They said, โ€œBut you perform wisal, oh Messenger of Allah.โ€ He said, โ€œI am not like you are, indeed my Lord feeds me and gives me to drink.โ€
