The Summary of the Ruling on Fasting on the Day of Saturday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The summary of what has preceded regarding fasting on the Day of Saturday is that, according to the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him), the prohibition of it is either anomalous or abrogated. As for the claim of abrogation, it requires evidence, because one of the conditions of abrogation is that the date is known and that the abrogating text is the later one. As for the anomaly, yes, it is possible to rule that it is anomalous because it contradicts the authentic hadiths, and because it is weak; thus, the hadith would be anomalous in this case. It has been mentioned previously that Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), in the well-known view among his followers, considers it disliked to fast on that day alone, but if it is combined with other days, he does not consider it disliked. Yes.
The Reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and Messenger, our Prophet Muhammad.
The Shaykh : There is a third opinion, or rather a fourth opinion, which is that of Malik, regarding the hadith that it is a lie. Yes, that is correct.
