It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a woman's husband is present, she should not fast even a single day without his permission, except in the month of Ramadan.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If I did not fear hardship for my Ummah, I would have commanded that the ‘Isha prayer be performed late, and that the miswak be used with every prayer, and that any woman whose husband is present should not fast even for a single day without his permission, except in the month of Ramadan.
