Explanation

In this Hadīth, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting one or two days before the beginning of the month of Ramadan, except for a person who normally fasts on specific days such as Mondays, for example. If that day is one or two days before the start of Ramadan, then, in this case, he may fast on it, because he did not introduce thereby a non-ordained extra act of worship.
