The reason for the prohibition of fasting on Friday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the reason for the prohibition of singling out Friday for fasting, and does this apply to making up missed fasts?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, we are prohibited from fasting on Friday as a voluntary fast, a voluntary fast. However, if one fasts to make up a missed fast, there is no harm. But if one fasts on Friday along with another day, the prohibition is removed. And the wisdom, may Allah know best, is that Friday is the weekly festival, and it strengthens a person’s ability to attend the Friday prayer and go to the Friday prayer.
