Is it permissible to fast on the thirteenth day of the white days in the month of Dhul-Hijjah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "provided it does not coincide with a customary practice in its entirety." So if a person has a custom of fasting the white days, and he did not perform Hajj that year, is it permissible for him to fast on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth?

Answer:
This is a festival, my brother, and it is excluded; it is not permissible to fast on these days because they are days of the festival, days of pardon, eating, and remembrance of Allah, so they are not included.
