Sunnah fasting days in April 2020

April 2020 spans Sha'ban 1441 – Ramadan 1441 AH on the standard Umm al-Qura reckoning. Below is every recommended fasting day in the month with its exact date. If your community's moon sighting runs a day ahead or behind, shift the Hijri dates by one day — the converter and calendar feed both have a ±1 sync setting for exactly this.

9 Sha'ban 1441 AH Thursday fast
13 Sha'ban 1441 AH White Day (Ayyam al-Beed) · Monday fast
16 Sha'ban 1441 AH Thursday fast
20 Sha'ban 1441 AH Monday fast
23 Sha'ban 1441 AH Thursday fast
27 Sha'ban 1441 AH Monday fast
30 Sha'ban 1441 AH Thursday fast

Part of April 2020 falls in Ramadan, when the whole month's fast is obligatory — so no extra sunnah fasting days are listed for those dates, and our reminders pause too.

To understand any of these days — the White Days, Mondays & Thursdays, Ashura, Arafah — the blog walks through each one with sources quoted verbatim.
