Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about one who fasts on Friday alone without the intention of singling it out, but only because it coincided with his customary fast? Does this fall under the prohibition?
Answer:
Yes, yes, it is not a prohibition that makes it forbidden; it is not permissible to fast on Friday alone except as a follow-up to another day, so that it is not singled out for fasting, due to the validity of the prohibition against doing so. Yes.
