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 ﷺ said:

And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his family and his companions.
