What is your opinion regarding the hadith: "Do not fast on Saturday..."? What is its authenticity? And is it fasted if it coincides with the Day of 'Arafah?

The questioner : What is your opinion regarding the hadith that came: ; is this authentic or not? And do we fast on the Day of Standing and other days?

The Shaykh : There are recordings, and recently we were in a blessed gathering and a long discussion took place on this issue, and some of our brothers record such good gatherings - if Allah wills - , and the summary of that is that this hadith is an authentic hadith, and its text is: , and the virtuous days that have special virtues like the Day of 'Arafah, Ashura, the white days, and the like, if one of them coincides with a Saturday, then there is a jurisprudential rule that says: "When a prohibitor - meaning: a preventer, a forbider - conflicts with a text that permits, the prohibitive text is given precedence over the permissive text." An example that clarifies this issue for you: if Monday comes on a day of 'Eid - and it is a day of virtue - , likewise if Thursday comes on the day of 'Eid al-Fitr; is it fasted? Does the virtue of fasting this day overcome the prohibition of fasting on the day of 'Eid, or is the opposite the correct view?
There is no doubt that the correct view is giving precedence to the prohibition over the virtue of fasting on Monday when there is a conflict. This is an example of what the scholars say: "When the prohibitor and the permissive conflict, the prohibitor is given precedence over the permissive." Then, let no one imagine that in giving precedence to the prohibitor over the permissive, there is a loss of the virtue of that day which we left in obedience to his prohibition - peace and blessings be upon him - . There is nothing of a loss in that, as many people imagine; that is because of his saying - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him and his family - : , so whoever falls into the dilemma of the day of 'Eid due to this day coinciding with Monday and wonders: Do I fast on Monday for its virtue, or do I leave it due to the Prophet's - may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him - prohibition of fasting on the day of 'Eid, and he left fasting on Monday due to the Messenger's prohibition of fasting on the day of 'Eid?
Here comes the previous hadith: , so this one who did not fast on the day of 'Eid despite its coinciding with Monday did not lose, but rather gained, by the testimony of this hadith. Likewise, we say: , so whoever left fasting on a voluntary day that has virtue due to its coinciding with Monday, Allah will compensate him with something better than it. This is what is mentioned for this question or for this question.
