Combining the Fasting of Dawud with the Prohibition of Singling Out Friday and Saturday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is another questioner, may Allah preserve you, who says: How is it possible to reconcile the hadith that the best fasting is the fasting of Dawud with the hadith prohibiting the voluntary fasting of Friday and Saturday individually? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, the fasting of Dawud is fasting one day and breaking the fast the next. If he continues with this and it coincides with Friday or coincides with Saturday, he fasts, because he did not intend to single out Friday or single out Saturday, but rather he intends to continue the fasting of Dawud (peace be upon him). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
