Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I heard that fasting on Mondays and Thursdays is better than fasting on three days of every month; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted on Mondays and Thursdays. Is this statement correct? But he commanded fasting on three days of every month, so they are equal, and Allah knows best. If you fast on Mondays and Thursdays and the three days, you complete the reward, and if you fast one of them
Answer:
you lose of the reward to the extent of what you did. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
