Abstract: The flow behavior of a Casson fluid with variable viscosity flowing past an extending or contracting surface is examined under the influence of some magnetic field. The considered fluid exhibits steady state flow in two dimensions. The system is solved to obtain partial differential equations which are then converted to ordinary differential equations by applying some similarity transformation. We calculate numerical solutions to the obtained equations by using shooting method. Moreover, the skin friction and the effect of slip on boundary of the fluid is also studied. The temperature and velocity function are observed using graphs and tables.
