Comparing the fasting of Monday and Thursday with the fasting of the white days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Which is better: Consistently fasting on Monday and Thursday, or fasting on the white days?
Each has its time, but which involves more fasting: Monday and Thursday, or the white days?The questioner: Fasting on Monday and Thursday.
The Shaykh: So: he should fast on Monday and Thursday, if it must be one or the other; we told him to fast on Monday and Thursday; because it is more work, and because it is usually the case that one of the two days, either Monday or Thursday, falls within the white days. But in my opinion, the one who fasts on Monday and Thursday is not unable to fast three days, so let him fast them all.
