Fasting One Day and Breaking the Fast One Day in the Virtuous Days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am committed to fasting one day and breaking the fast one day. Should I continue with this fasting even in the virtuous days, such as the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, Sha'ban, and Muharram?

Answer:
May Allah reward you. You should fast all the days, meaning you fast all ten days, and 'Ashura, and the day before it or the day after it, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Then you return to your usual fasting. Yes.
