Fasting Friday Alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner: If he is in a state of fasting, should he break it, or should he fast? And in all cases, he is busy, and it is not
The Shaykh:
If he wanted to.
The questioner:
If he is bound by making up a fast, or a vow, or if he wants to fast voluntarily, and on all days he is busy and his fasting is nullified, except on Friday where he has a chance of success, is it permissible for him to fast only on that day?
The Shaykh:
As for voluntary fasting, no. As for making up a fast or fulfilling a vow, there is no harm in fasting, because this is a fast that is pleasing. As for voluntary fasting, he should not fast. He should fast on Friday. If he wants to fast the day before it or the day after it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to be done. Yes.
