Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-sal?mu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatull?hi wa-barak?tuh.

Fasting is an act of worship (ibadat). It is one of the Fundamental Principles (Pillars) of Islam.

Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala says:[1]”Oh you who believe fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may attain Taqwa (God-Fearing).”

Allah Subhana wa Ta’Ala says Oh you who believe. This is a general command for everyone  who are Believers in Islam. The command is that they should fast.(Mariful Quran – Maktaba-eDarul-Uloom; pg. 454)

And Allah Ta’?la Knows Best
