The ruling on fasting on Friday alone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks, Honorable Shaykh, about fasting and isolating Friday. If I want to fast three days of the month and it falls on a Friday,

Answer:
If Friday is attached to another day, there is no harm. But if you isolate Friday by fasting on it alone, that is prohibited. This is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited fasting on Friday if it is isolated. But if you fast it along with another day, it is included as a follower. Yes.
