The Dislike of Singling Out Friday for Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible to fast on Friday?
Fasting on Friday is permissible, but it is disliked if one fasts on Friday specifically because it is Friday.As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family said: (Do not single out Friday for fasting, nor its night for standing in prayer), and because he found one of his wives fasting on Friday, so he said to her: (Did you fast yesterday?She said: No.
He said: Will you fast tomorrow?She said: No.
He said: Then break your fast) He ordered her to break her fast because she did not intend anything other than fasting on Friday.But if it is for an excuse: Like a man who has to make up fasts from Ramadan and it is not possible for him to fast on the remaining days except on Friday, then there is no harm in his fasting it.
