Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is better: fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, or fasting on Mondays and Thursdays and three days of every month?
Answer:
The better option, without a doubt, is to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As you heard, he would fast until it was said, "He does not break his fast," and he would break his fast until it was said, "He does not fast." So he would do both of these in equal measure. This is the better option.
