Question

Is it the mother’s right to stop her daughter from observing voluntary fasts, naming nutrition as the reason? Is it permissible for the daughter in this situation to fast despite her mother’s objections?

Praise be to Allah.

The parents have the right to prevent their child – be it a
son or a daughter – from observing voluntary acts of worship, whether they
are Hajj, fasting, jihad or others, especially if the parents think that
doing this voluntary action will be harmful to the child, or if the parents
have some need that cannot be met otherwise. But in the case of obligatory
duties they have no such right. If the child is prevented by his parents
from observing a voluntary act of worship, then Allaah will reward him.
