Prologue |
We must now consider fasting: under which head there are eight points of inquiry:(1) Whether fasting is an act of virtue?(2) Of what virtue is it the act?(3) Whether it is a matter of precept?(4) Whether anyone is excused from fulfilling this precept?(5) The time of fasting;(6) Whether it is requisite for fasting to eat but once?(7) The hour of eating for those who fast;(8) The meats from which it is necessary to abstain. |
