Question: Is it…is it permissible to fast…is it permissible to fast the day of ‘Arafah if it coincides with a Saturday?
Response: Yes [it is], because you did not intend it.
It is not forbidden to fast on a Saturday [itself].
Rather, it is forbidden to fast on a Friday [itself].
If the fast [of the day of ‘Arafah] coincides…if the day of ‘Arafah coincides with a Friday [then] fast [it].
That is because you do not intend to fast the Friday [itself], which is forbidden, rather [by doing so] you [only] intend to fast the day of ‘Arafah.
Yes.
