Question :
What do the scholars and experts of shari’ah say regarding my fasting on a Monday? I routinely fast on Monday and this year the 9th of Muharram also falls on a Monday. Can I make an intention for a Monday fast and the fast of the 9th of Muharram together on one day?
Answer:
Yes, you can make an intention for the sunnah fast of Monday as well as the fasting of 9th of Muharram together. Insha-Allah you will also be rewarded for both intentions fully. The purpose of both fasts are to revive and act upon the sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ so both intentions will be sound.
Allah ﷻ knows best
