Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this is Salim asking: Is it permissible to fast on Friday alone, counting it as one of the six days of Shawwal?
Answer:
If he fasts it as part of a sequence, there is nothing wrong with it. If he fasts it because he intends to fast the six days of Shawwal and started on Friday, or if Friday falls within those days, or if it is the last of them, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is attached to other days. However, to fast it alone is prohibited; it is forbidden to fast Friday alone. Yes, and the hadith on this matter is authentic. Yes.
