Fasting on Friday alone with the intention of the six days of Shawwal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A person fasted on Friday alone with the intention of fasting the six days of Shawwal, so what is the ruling on his action?
Answer:
Friday suffices for the six days of Shawwal. Or if he fasted at the beginning for the six days, it would be a continuation; there is no harm if it is a continuation, there is no harm. However, fasting on Friday alone is prohibited; it is not permissible to single out Friday for fasting due to the authenticity of the hadith prohibiting it.
