The ruling on fasting on Friday for one who fasts one day and breaks the fast the next

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to a message received from Algeria. The questioner, Maim Maim, says: Honorable Shaykh, the fasting most beloved to Allah is the fasting of Dawud (peace be upon him), as came in the meaning of the hadith. But some people say, “We fast one day and break the fast the next,” regardless of whether it is Friday. And some say, “Fasting one day and breaking the fast the next,” but when we reach Friday, we break the fast. What is your opinion on this fasting?

Answer:
Friday has no bearing on this fasting. One fasts one day and breaks the fast the next, even if it falls on Friday, because it is attached to his fasting, and he did not intend Friday specifically. It is a coincidence. What is disliked is to single out Friday alone. But if he fasts it in connection with a fast he was already observing, there is no blame on him. Yes.
