Question:
Also, the sister asks, Honorable Shaykh, regarding fasting: Are there narrations concerning the virtue of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays? Is this established, or is it only Monday because deeds are presented? She says: Is it Monday?
Answer:
Both are established: fasting on Monday and fasting on Thursday. These are two days on which deeds are presented to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is better for the Muslim’s deed to be presented while he is fasting, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
