The Superiority of Fasting Monday and Thursday over the White Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Which is better: fasting the white days, or fasting Monday and Thursday?
Answer:
All of them are virtuous, but fasting Monday and Thursday carries more reward. This is because Monday and Thursday occur many times in the month, whereas the white days are only three days. If one fasts Monday and Thursday, he achieves fasting three days in every month, and he gains the extra. This is better and more. And if he combines them, fasting the white days and fasting Monday and Thursday, it is all good, all excellent.
The presenter: Perhaps the white days might coincide with Monday or Thursday?
The Shaykh: They may coincide, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
