Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, our Shaykh, regarding fasting on Saturday outside of the obligatory fast, I mean, Shaykh, why do we not combine the hadith of prohibition with the permissive hadiths and not proceed to preference, because it is known, O Shaykh, that the condition for preference is the impossibility of combining them. So why do we not combine them and say, for example, if it is a standalone fast, or so on, as some scholars have said?
The Shaykh : If there is no contradiction, the rule is to combine them. But if combining them is not feasible, one proceeds to preference.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : These are rules agreed upon by scholars of hadith and scholars of jurisprudence. So what is the specific question remaining?
The questioner : The specific question, O Shaykh, is why do we not combine the hadith prohibiting fasting on Saturday with the permissive hadiths for it, and for...
The Shaykh : What are the permissive hadiths for it?
The questioner : For example, fasting the six days of Shawwal and fasting three days of every month if they coincide, I mean.
The Shaykh : Fasting the six days does not include a condition, even if it is a Saturday.
The questioner : I mean.
The Shaykh : So that it is considered a contradiction.
The questioner : If a person, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : Do not say "if."
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Answer the question.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fasting on Saturdays does not state that if it includes a Saturday, it is fasted. If it were like that, we would combine them.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But the hadith about Saturday says: And fasting the six days is not something that is obligatory; so this is how the combination works.
The questioner : I mean, from the exception, O Shaykh, I mean, we do not associate it if it comes, for example, in the three days which are in the middle of the month, or the Day of 'Arafah, or that, we do not exclude it?
The Shaykh : Saturday is excluded.
The questioner : Saturday is excluded from them, but it is not from Saturday.
The Shaykh : No, it is not. Yes.
The student : The Shaykh, the car's wipers, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Who?
The student : The car's wipers.
The Shaykh : How?
The student : The car's wipers.
The Shaykh : No, it is not raining, my brother, because the car is tilted now, but we will go outside and see.
The student : ... meaning.
The Shaykh : But we will go outside and you will change your view, hehe.
The student : Ah, hehe.
The questioner : A question, O our Shaykh, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: And that is all.
The questioner : O my master, the Shaykh, O my master, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Peace and mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you and them.
The questioner : O my master, the Shaykh.
The student : Make a supplication to Allah for us, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah relieve you and all the Muslims.
The student : The young men in Saudi Arabia are sending you their greetings.
Another student: O my master, the Shaykh.
Another student: Our brothers in Egypt are sending you their greetings, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you and upon them.

The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But the hadith about Saturday says:
except in what is obligatory
