Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner will say: I have one day left to fast from the six days of Shawwal. Is it permissible for me to fast it tomorrow, Friday, given that I did not fast today, Thursday, and I do not intend to fast Saturday?
Answer:
There is no harm in fasting Friday tomorrow to complete the six; there is no harm in that. The thing prohibited is singling out Friday for fasting specifically for its virtue. However, if a person fasts it as part of a fast he is observing, such as the six days, making up Ramadan, or three days of every month, there is no harm. Yes.
