I planned on fasting today

[ReboundMuslimah]

And than I heard fasting on Saturday is is not recommended , is this true?

[Aisha]

No, it's not true. Fasting is permitted on any day of the week.

[ReboundMuslimah]

This is what I read:
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not fast on Saturdays apart from days when you are obliged to fast. If any one of you cannot find anything other than grape stalks or the twigs of a tree, let him chew it (to make sure that he is not fasting).”*

[Aisha]

As mentioned, it's disliked to single out a certain day for fasting as that may imitate the disbelievers. It's perfectly fine if that's your day off and you wish to fast, or you find fasting easier at the weekend.

[ReboundMuslimah]

Oh okay thx for clarifying that may Allah reward you.

[Muslimah1990]

It is makrooh to single out a fast on a Friday or a Saturday unless it coincides with a fast one usually observes.
