Question: My habit is to fast Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays every week, so is there any harm in that?
Response: If the matter is as you have mentioned, then you have done well so long as you do not single out Fridays alone for fasting, because the Prophet (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
«None of you should fast on a Friday unless he [also] fasts the day before or the day after», transmitted by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim.
And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
