Specifying Monday and Thursday for Reciting the Qur'an and Giving Charity

Question:
Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), it is mentioned in the hadith that there is virtue in fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. Does reciting the Qur'an, giving charity, and other righteous deeds have a special virtue on these two days? And do we say that one who intentionally recites the Qur'an and gives charity on these two days has fallen into religious innovation (bid'ah)?

Answer:
Specifying these two days for anything other than fasting is among the religious innovations (bid'ah), because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify these two days for anything except fasting. However, these righteous deeds are continuous on Mondays, Thursdays, and other days. So, one does not specify Monday and Thursday for anything except fasting alone, and one continues with the deeds he was doing before Monday, before Thursday, or after. Yes.
