The questioner : What is the ruling on fasting on Saturday and Friday as a voluntary act?
The Shaykh : There is no harm in that; there is no harm in fasting on Friday and Saturday consecutively. The evidence for this is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to one of the Mothers of the Believers, who had informed him that she was fasting on Friday, he said to her: She said: No. He said: She said: No. He said: So his saying: means along with Friday. This is clear evidence of the permissibility of fasting them consecutively. As for isolating one of them, it is disliked, and isolating Friday is more severely disliked because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) forbade fasting on it unless one fasts the day before it or the day after it. Yes.
