Is the prohibition of fasting on Saturday due to singling it out?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : Shaykh, you mentioned to us in the journey we took some time ago regarding the issue of the exception that came to mind in the matter of Saturday for someone who, for example, did not know the ruling, so he broke his fast on Thursday and then came Friday, so you obligated him to fast on Saturday, thereby exiting the recommended practice at that time. Is it not possible that the scope of ignorance could expand to include someone like a menstruating woman? Since this matter is not in her control, or does that mean something like that? I do not know?
The Shaykh : No. The principle is only the prohibition of singling it out. If singling it out occurs, the prohibition occurs. As for what I mentioned at that time, it was a thought that may be strong or weak.
Al-Halabi : I mean, is it not so?
The Shaykh : It is not so, yes.
Al-Halabi: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And what about others?
The Shaykh : No. The principle is only the prohibition of singling it out. If singling it out occurs, the prohibition occurs. As for what I mentioned at that time, it was a thought that may be strong or weak.
Al-Halabi : I mean, is it not so?

The Shaykh : And what about others?
