Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 578

[edit]

Every individual should fast and pray regarding their problems

שכל יחיד יתענה ויתפלל על צרתו

578:1

[edit]

Just like the public fasts and prays over their problems, so too should the individual fast and pray over their problems. How so? If they have a sick person [in their household], they are wandering in the wilderness, or they are being held captive in prison, they should fast and request mercy on their fast. They should not fast on Shabbat, holidays, Hanukah, Purim or Rosh Hodesh.

סעיף א

כשם שהצבור מתענים ומתפללים על צרתם, כך כל יחיד מתענה ומתפלל על צרתו. כיצה, היה לו חולה, או תועה במדבר או חבוש בבית האסורים, יש לו להתענות ולבקש רחמים בתעניתו, ולא יתענה בשבת ומועד חנכה ופורים וראש חדש.
