The questioner:
Should this day, Friday, not be included among the festivals of the Muslims? Friday is, in the

Another questioner:
two festivals: the Day of Breaking the Fast and the Day of Sacrifice. Should Friday not be included among them?

The Shaykh:
It must be prevented on any Friday or days of glorification, except the days of the festival. However, in general, it does not have the ruling of the festival days regarding the prohibition of fasting, in the sense that it is a festival day that is prohibited due to being singled out for it.

Another questioner:
If Allah has made it poor and known.

The Shaykh:
The safest course is to refrain from it on the Thursday before it, so as to exit the scope of the prohibition.

Another questioner:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. If Friday is a day off, as is the case these days, should one single it out for fasting?

The Shaykh:
He does not lose out. It is not specific to fasting or standing in prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, this is the original principle inصلى الله عليه وسلم. نعم، هذا هو الأصل في
the prohibition, and for this reason he ordered her to break her fast. The majority are upon… upon the oath of allegiance to the caliphate, upon the oath of allegiance to the caliphate.

Another questioner:
If one fasts on Fridays habitually and cannot fast except one day after another, and it coincides with Friday, then fasting on a single day is not permissible except for one who fasts on Fridays.

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, as in the hadith, he said regarding the Sunnah of Dawud, meaning
used to fast on alternate daysيصوم يوما ويفطر يوما
Sahih al-Bukhari 1979
. It is known that if it coincides with Thursday, he fasts on Friday and breaks the fast on Saturday. As long as he fasts and the person fasts, there is no blame on him.

Another questioner:
Only.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
It is not the custom to fast one day and break the fast for two days, except for the six days of Shawwal. For the six days of Shawwal, one fasts one day and breaks the fast for two days, saying, "I cannot bear the hardship of work, so I fast one day and break the fast for two days." If it coincides with Friday, does he break the fast?

The Shaykh:
It is closer for him to pray, but in such a case, 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. Otherwise, he did not single it out; he did not single out Friday; he is following the fasting of the sick, like if he fasts for 'Arafah, if he took three months. Yes. No, you do not believe. No, he does not drink, no, meaning the days of Tashreeq, the days when the sheep are not sacrificed, are not fasted. And if he fasts the white days, he fasts the fourteenth or fifteenth, that is sufficient. Yes.

Another questioner:
It is permissible for him, O Shaykh, if he intended to pray. In this specific chapter.

The Shaykh:
Two Shaykhs, you are being general.

Another questioner:
The difference between fasting the ten days, O Shaykh, in the hadith
and the one who fasts them in the days of Tashreeq.والزاهي صومها في أيام التشريق.
a gift from ten chocolates, meaning the gift.

The Shaykh:
He does not touch the weapon. Any of the conditions in Hajj, as for the three, fasting the time in Hajj, and these are other days of Hajj, as for the seventh, its father is its head. Yes.

Another questioner:
Three days from a specific month, the white days, or any three days of the month.

The Shaykh:
It does not coincide, but debt is better, except if he fasts in the last part of the day or in the first part of the day, there is no harm.

Another questioner:
Which hadith did we specify in the thirteenth?

The Shaykh:
These were the white days, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified the three days of every month to be fasted, fasting the three days is the required goal, but if it coincides with the white days, it is better.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
