Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O honorable Shaykh, which is better: consistently fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, or fasting on the white days?
The Shaykh : Each has its time, but which involves more fasting: Mondays and Thursdays, or the white days?
The questioner : Mondays and Thursdays.
The Shaykh : Well, if one must choose between the two, we tell him to fast on Mondays and Thursdays because it involves more action, and because the white days will usually include one of those two days, either Monday or Thursday. However, in my opinion, one who fasts on Mondays and Thursdays is not unable to fast three days, so let him fast them all. Yes.
