A[1] Whether fasting is an act of virtue?
A[2] Of what virtue is it the act?
A[3] Whether it is a matter of precept?
A[4] Whether anyone is excused from fulfilling this precept?
A[5] The time of fasting;
A[6] Whether it is requisite for fasting to eat but once?
A[7] The hour of eating for those who fast;
A[8] The meats from which it is necessary to abstain.
