Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is fasting on Sunday among the days for which fasting is forbidden due to imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
No, there is no authentic prohibition against fasting on Saturday, and as far as I know, there is no prohibition against fasting on Sunday. Rather, one may fast on Saturday and Sunday.
