Fatwa:-> Superiority of fasting Mondays and Thursdays to fasting al-Ayyaam al-Beed

My mother for a long timehas regularly fasted on Thursday and Monday
of every week, but now she wants to ask and find out whether this
action is better or should she fast three days of every month?.
Praise be to Allaah.
This action is better and brings a greater reward, and fasting three
days (of every month) is included in that. The Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allaah be upon him) used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays,
and he used tosay: "They are two days on which deeds are shown to
Allaah, may He be glorified, and I would like my deeds to be shown (to
Him) when I am fasting." and Allaah is the source of strength. End
quote.
