Three White Days
The White days are the three consecutive days that fall on every 13th, 14th, and 15th day of the Islamic month. It is called white days because the full moon shines brightly throughout the three mentioned days.
Muslims are encouraged to fast during these three days of every Islamic month.
Abu Hurairah reported: My friend (the Messenger of Allah) directed me to observe fast for three days in every month, to perform two Rak’ah (optional) Duha prayer at forenoon, and to perform the Witr prayer before going to bed.
