Clarification of the stronger position regarding the ruling on fasting on Saturday. Mention of a benefit concerning anomalous hadiths. Mention of the danger of rushing in issuing fatwas.

The Shaykh : In any case, the Shaykh’s (may Allah have mercy on him) reasoning is good. However, it can be said that even if we assume it indicates generality, the hadiths indicating that it is fasted along with other days restrict this generality. For this reason, the well-known position in the school of jurisprudence is that fasting on Saturday is permissible if it is combined with another day, and that what is disliked is fasting it alone. But if we return to what the Shaykh said, the hadith in question is now either abrogated or anomalous. This clarifies an important benefit in the science of terminology: that anomaly does not have to be in a single hadith where some narrate it one way and others another; rather, anomaly can be in the ruling itself, regardless of the hadith. This is an important benefit.
Accordingly, we say that this hadith is anomalous because it contradicts the many hadiths indicating the permissibility of fasting on Saturday. And what the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) held is the truth. By this, we recognize the haste of some people who entered their homes and found their families had fasted on the Day of 'Arafah, which happened to be a Saturday, and they compelled them to break their fast. He said, "Break your fast today; Saturday has no fasting except the obligatory one." This indicates to you that rushing in legal rulings has a great danger. Did those who fasted on the Day of 'Arafah, which fell on a Saturday, intend to fast on Saturday because it was Saturday? No, they intended to fast on the Day of 'Arafah. If the Day of 'Arafah had fallen on a Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or any other day, they would have fasted it. So they did not fast on Saturday because it was Saturday. In any case, I love for you to be mindful of these serious matters, which are rushing in fatwas based on assuming good of a scholar who said, for example, that a scholar errs; everyone errs and everyone hits the mark. The hadiths are very clear: an authentic hadith in the two Sahihs and others regarding the permissibility of fasting on Saturday if it is combined with another day, or if it coincides with days on which fasting is prescribed. Yes, as for one who intends to fast on Saturday, it can be said to be disliked, as the jurists said, or it can be said to be recommended. Some also said it is recommended from another angle, which is that it is a festival for the disbelievers, and a festival is a day of joy, happiness, eating, and drinking, so Saturday is fasted to oppose them. There is no joy, relaxation, or festival in fasting. So we hope our brothers, the students of knowledge, do not rush in such matters and that they fear Allah in themselves and in the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
