Fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, and its coinciding with Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My question, may Allah preserve you. Shaykh, regarding the one who fasts one day and breaks the fast the next day. If it coincides with Friday or days on which fasting is not prescribed, or for example, if he fasts one day and breaks the fast the next, sometimes he fasts three days, for example, or the white days. Is it better for him to continue with the fasting of Dawud, which is fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, or if it coincides with Thursday or coincides with Monday, does he fast as well, and in this case he would be fasting most of the month? Thank you.
Answer:
There is no harm in that. Fasting one day and breaking the fast the next is prescribed, and it is the fasting of Dawud (peace be upon him). As for fasting on Friday, one is prohibited from singling out Friday for fasting. However, if he fasts it along with other days, there is no objection to that, and there is no prohibition in that. Yes.

May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh
