Singling out Friday for fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: May Allah bless you. I want to fast three days of every month. If I single out Friday only, may I fast three Fridays?
The Shaykh:
If you need to do this because you are free on that day, there is nothing wrong with it, because the hadith prohibits fasting on Friday alone.
The questioner:
Here.
The Shaykh:
He is asking about Friday.
The questioner:
Yes, he says
The Shaykh:
Saturday.
The questioner:
No, not Friday, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
No, this is not permissible. Singling out Friday is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it in an authentic hadith. Yes.
