Question:
Which is better in terms of fasting: Mondays and Thursdays, or three days of every month?
Answer:
Both are compatible; there is no conflict between them. One may fast on Mondays and Thursdays of every week and fast three days of every month, and he will receive a great reward for that. If he limits himself to Mondays and Thursdays, that is sufficient for him, but he will be missing the reward of the one who fasts three days of every month. And if he fasts three days of every month and leaves off fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, he will be missing the fasting of Mondays and Thursdays. Yes.
