The Ruling on Fasting on Saturday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Jordan, Khulud 'Isa, asks: Is it permissible to fast on Saturday as a make-up fast or a voluntary fast?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with fasting on Saturday as a make-up fast or a voluntary fast; because the hadith containing the prohibition of fasting on Saturday is a weak and anomalous hadith, contradicting the authentic hadiths. The hadith containing the prohibition of fasting on Saturday is not authentic; rather, it is anomalous according to the scholars, and it is not authentic. So there is no blame on a person for fasting on Saturday alone, or with Friday, or with Sunday. There is nothing wrong with it; it is all good, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
