The Connection Between Fasting on Thursdays and Mondays
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is there a connection between fasting on Thursdays and Mondays, meaning that if one fasts on Monday, is he required to fast on Thursday?
Answer:
No, he is not required to, but I advise him to follow the Sunnah, because if he fasts only on Mondays, he is acting on part of the Sunnah. If he fasts on both Mondays and Thursdays of every week, he is acting on the entire Sunnah, and this is better for him and more complete for him in reward.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
