The ruling on fasting on Saturday and Sunday voluntarily
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on fasting on Saturday and Sunday voluntarily? And if it coincides with making up a missed fast or fulfilling a vow, what is the ruling on fasting then?
Answer:
There is no harm in fasting on Saturday and Sunday. However, one should not single out Saturday to fast on it alone, so that it is not attached to nothing else. If he fasts on Saturday and Sunday, then Saturday is attached to another day, and there is no harm in that. Or he fasts on Friday and Saturday, and it is attached to another day. Or he fasts to make up a missed fast or fulfill a vow, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
