Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He also asks: Is it permissible for a person to fast the virtuous days, such as Mondays, Thursdays, and the Day of 'Arafah, before making up what he owes from Ramadan?
Answer:
There is no obstacle. Where there is disagreement, if he has days to make up from Ramadan, he does not fast the six days until he has made up what he owes from Ramadan. As for the others, there is no obstacle.
