Fasting on Friday if it coincides with the fast of the one who habitually fasts, or the six days of Shawwal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is this day, Friday, included among the festivals of the Muslims? We have two festivals, the Day of Breaking the Fast and the Day of Sacrifice. Is Friday not included among them?

The Shaykh:
It is a festival in meaning, it is Friday, and the days of Tashreeq, except for the days of 'Id, but in general, but it does not have the ruling of the days of 'Id in prohibiting fasting, in the sense that it is a day of 'Id, it is prohibited due to the specific designation of it.

The questioner:
If Allah wills. If it coincides with the Day of 'Arafah.

The Shaykh:
The safest course is to fast the day before it, Thursday, so as to avoid the doubt regarding the prohibition.

Another questioner:
May Allah do you good, O Shaykh. If Friday is a day off, as is the case these days, is it permissible to single it out for fasting? No, it is not to be singled out.

The Shaykh:
No, it is not singled out, neither for fasting nor for standing in prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes, this is the original ruling regarding the prohibition, and for this reason he ordered Juwairiyah to break her fast.

The questioner:
The majority interpreted it as applying to.

The Shaykh:
So he does not reach the caliphate, so he does not reach the caliphate.

The questioner:
If a person fasts in the sixth of Shawwal and is unable to fast except for one day, and that day happens to be Friday, is it permissible for him to do so? Only in the sixth of Shawwal, it is not his habit to fast alone, except that in the sixth of Shawwal

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, as in the hadith where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in a sunnah (recommended practice) regarding
Dawud. He would fast a day, and not fast (the next) dayداود كان يصوم يوما ويفطر يوما
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 770Sahih (Darussalam)
, knowing that if his day of breaking the fast falls on Thursday, he fasts on Friday and covers Saturday, instead, in the case of fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, there is no harm,

The questioner:
Only in the sixth of Shawwal, it is not his habit to fast one day and break the fast for two days, except in the sixth of Shawwal, in the sixth of Shawwal he fasts one day and breaks the fast the next, he says I cannot bear the hardship of work, so I fast one day and break the fast the next, if the day of fasting falls on Friday, does he break the fast?

The Shaykh:
It is closer for him to cover it up, but in a case like this, if he is cautious with his religion and leaves the doubtful matter and fasts on Thursday, it is safer and further from the doubtful matter. He says to him: It was not singled out; he did not single out Friday by following the fasting of the six days.

Another questioner:
It looks strange.

The Shaykh:
If he fasts on the Day of 'Arafah. Yes. You are correct.

The questioner:
No, no, no, it was issued in the year thirteen, with drawings.

The Shaykh:
No, he does not fast, because the days of the Throne and the days of the Footstool are not to be fasted. Even if he fasts the white days, he fasts the fourteenth and fifteenth, that is sufficient.

Another questioner:
It is permissible for him, it is permissible for him, O Shaykh, if he intended to fast. The specific ones.

The questioner:
Excellent. This is from the category of the specific.

The Shaykh:
Khalid broke the generality for you.

Another questioner:
If he intended to fast the ten days, O Shaykh, in Hajj, is it permissible for him to fast them on the days of Tashriq?

The Shaykh:
What are they?

Another questioner:
The ten days, my work is with them.

The Shaykh:
No, I do not wear three, because these are conditional in Hajj, two are conditional in Hajj, as for the three, they are separated days in Hajj, and these are other days of Hajj, as for the seven, their head is their beginning.

Another questioner:
Fasting three days of the month specified as the white days, or any three days of the month?

The Shaykh:
At any time, but the white days are better, and the one who fasted in the last ten days or in the first ten days is pressed. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Another questioner:
Good. Her son is on the thirteenth.

The Shaykh:
These are the three white days, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified the three days of every month, at any time, at any time he fasts the three days, the requirement is achieved.

The questioner:
He says to you.

The Shaykh:
Coinciding with the white days, then it is better.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
