Question:
A questioner asks: What is the ruling on fasting on Saturday if it is the Day of 'Arafah, or if it is one of the white days? And is it permissible to fast it alone?
Answer:
Nothing has been established regarding the prohibition of fasting on Saturday; nothing has been established. Therefore, there is no impediment. The only thing that is authentic and established is fasting Friday alone; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited that. As for Saturday, nothing has been reported regarding it, so it remains on the default ruling, which is permissibility. Yes.
