Is it permissible to fast on the Day of 'Arafah if it falls on a Saturday?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to fast on the Day of 'Arafah if it falls on a Saturday?

Answer:
Yes, because you did not intend to fast on Saturday, which would prevent fasting on it. It prevents fasting on a Friday if it coincides with a fast that falls on a Friday. If the Day of 'Arafah falls on a Friday, you fast, because you do not intend to fast on the Friday that is prohibited; you only intend to fast on the Day of 'Arafah. Yes.
