Question : Also, what is the wisdom behind the prohibition of fasting on Friday, given that it is an excellent day and the festival of the week?
Answer : We said that because it is the festival of the week, fasting on it is prohibited so that people may devote themselves to worship. Since Friday has specific acts of worship, the prohibition of fasting on it alone is to allow people to devote themselves to them.
