Sahih al-Bukhari 1538 (Book 25, Hadith 78)
Ramadan was made obligatory. And on that day the Ka`ba used to be covered with a cover. When
Allah made the fasting of the month of Ramadan compulsory, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever wishes
to fast (on the day of ‘Ashura’) may do so; and whoever wishes to leave it can do so.”
“ مَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَصُومَهُ فَلْيَصُمْهُ، وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَتْرُكَهُ فَلْيَتْرُكْهُ ”.
