Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim to intend two things with his fast, such as fasting the day of 'Ashura, and the day before and after it, and also intending to fast three days of every month?
Answer:
Fasting 'Ashura is independent; fasting the day before or after it is an independent fast; the three days of every month are an independent act of worship. So this does not enter into that. He fasts three days of the month and fasts the day of 'Ashura, or the day before it, or the day after it. Yes.
