Isolating Friday for Fasting: The Fasting of Dawud

The questioner:
If one fasts the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him) and fasts Friday alone, is that permissible?

The Shaykh:
Yes, fast alone, how?

The questioner:
Friday, with his fast, like the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him).

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
He asked: Is it permissible to fast Friday alone if one fasts according to the method of the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
What is this question you read at the beginning? Yes, read the first question.

The questioner:
It is the one I have with me.

The Shaykh:
Your first statement, meaning, is it not correct?

The questioner:
No, but I only mentioned its meaning at the beginning.

The Shaykh:
And you mentioned its meaning; that is not honest.

The questioner:
Is it permissible to fast Friday alone if one fasts according to the method of the fast of Dawud?

The Shaykh:
I do not know how this question works. Friday falls within the fasting; if it coincides with his day of breaking the fast, he breaks it, and if it coincides with his day of fasting, he fasts. It falls within it. Yes.
