Is it permissible for one who intends to fast three days of every month to make his fasting on the Saturday of every week?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to fast every Saturday of every month in order to fulfill the Messenger of Allah’s (peace and blessings be upon him) recommendation to fast three days of every month, since I have a day off on Saturday and am able to fast on it?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. You may fast three days of every month, even if one of them is a Saturday; there is no contradiction in that.
