Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man fasted on this day, Saturday, and did not fast on Friday, and he does not intend to fast tomorrow, Sunday. Is there anything required of him?
Answer:
No, he owes nothing. It is true that there is no established prohibition against fasting on Saturday; there is no established prohibition against fasting on Saturday. However, it is Friday on which it is not permissible to fast alone; the hadith regarding the prohibition of fasting it alone is authentic. But if he fasts it along with another day, it is permissible as a secondary act. Yes.
