salaam,

Can we begin fasting on Friday? It's a holy day and also a weekly celebration day. i won't mind fasting if we can perform it or any other act of worship to please God according to sunna and shar3iyya, peace :)

It is not allowed to single out fasting on a Friday.

The Prophet (:saws1:) said, "None of you should fast on a Friday unless he fasts the day before or the day after." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1849, Muslim, 1929).

The Prophet (:saws1:) entered upon Juwayriyah bint al-Haarith (r) on a Friday when she was fasting. He asked her, "Did you fast yesterday?" She said, "No." He asked, "Are you going to fast tomorrow?" She said, "No." He said, "Then break your fast.".

Hammaad ibn al-Ja’d said, "I heard Qutadah say, Abu Ayyoob told me that Juwayriyah spoke to him and he told her to stop her fast and she did so." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Sawm, 1850).

Secondly, for the Muslims to gain the upper hand we must worship Allah at all times not have one off days of worship.

:sl:
I won't fast as it's Friday.

However, is it allowed fast for such purposes on other days? Aren't we supposed to fast for the sake of Allah swt only, not for political reasons?
