Is it Makruh to fast on Fridays? Why?
Answer
It is Makrooh to single out Friday for fasting because the Hadith prohibits it. Rasulullah [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?Do not specify the day of Jumu?ah for fasting from amongst the other days.? (Muslim)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
