The Permissibility of Fasting Monday or Thursday in Connection with Fasting the White Days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I fast the white days of every month, and sometimes fasting on Monday or Thursday coincides with them. For example, if I start fasting on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, is it permissible for me to fast the fourth day if it is Monday or Thursday? She says: I hope you will issue a ruling on this, may Allah grant you success.

Answer:
Yes, if you are fasting the white days and the sixteenth day happens to be Monday or Thursday, and you wish to fast, there is no harm. These are noble days; it is prescribed to fast Monday and Thursday independently, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast them and said, "They are two days on which deeds are presented to Allah, so I love for my deeds to be presented while I am fasting." So if you fast the white days and the sixteenth day happens to be Monday or Thursday, and you wish to fast them, that is good. They are two great days. Yes.
