Is fasting on Monday and Thursday Sunnah?....How long can a muslim man stay away from his wife?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is sunnah to fast on Mondays and Thursday s.

A husband may stay away from his wife for any period of time with mutual agreement. However it is advisable that a husband should not stay away from his wife for more than four months.

And Allah knows best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
