Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the day of Friday or the day of Saturday coincides with the day of 'Ashura or 'Arafah, is it permissible for him to fast it alone?
Answer:
Yes, he fasts. And the day of 'Ashura is not fasted alone; the sunnah (recommended practice) is to fast the day before it or the day after it, in order to differ from the Jews.
