Usually in some Mazhab (not Maliki) it is Makruh (if you leave it you get rewarded if you do it you do not get punshed) to single out Friday with fasting unless it happens to coincide with another fasting (make-up, 9 days of Zul-Hijjah, 3 white nights, 6 of Shawwal, ..etc.). It is Sunnah to fast the ninth of Zul-Hijjah (Arafah Day) but not for the Hujjaj (Makruh or Haram depends which Mazhab). So, here there is not problem to fast Friday alone or with other days.
It is also Haram to fast Eidul-Adh-ha day and the three days of Tashriq. i.e. 10, 11, 12, 13 of Zul-Hijjah. In Shafi`i they gave exception for 11,12,13 for special reasons like Kaffarah and Nazr, but they are Ayyam Eid and Ayyam Akl Wa Shurb and we ought to join the masses of Muslims in eating, drinking, making Takbir, and even singing proper songs (Da`huma Fa Innaha Ayyamu Eid, The prophet (s.a.w.) told Aba bakr when he told the two young ladies to stop singing when he saw them singing at the house of the Prophet (s.a.w.)).
