IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-548: TUAN RUMAH TIDAK BOLEH BERPUASA MELAINKAN DENGAN IZIN TETAMU
Is there a hadith stating that a host may not fast unless the guest permits it?
Short answer
A similar wording is narrated by al-Dailami in Musnad al-Firdaus, but it is weak because of two narrators, Abdurrahman bin Waqid and al-Salt bin Hajjaj.

Summary
A similar wording is narrated by al-Dailami in Musnad al-Firdaus, but it is weak because of two narrators, Abdurrahman bin Waqid and al-Salt bin Hajjaj. In jurisprudence, al-Khatib al-Syirbini states that breaking a voluntary fast is disliked, so continuing the fast is better. If there is a need, such as a guest unwilling to eat alone, it is permissible to discontinue the voluntary fast and it is regarded as recommended in order to honour the guest.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, hadis tersebut adalah lemah disebabkan dua orang perawi iaitu Abdurrahman bin Waqid dan Ṣalt bin Hajjaj.
