The prohibition against fasting on specific days is due to singling them out. However, if such a day coincides with a habitual fast, then there is no harm in fasting it. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Do not single out Friday for fasting among other days unless it coincides with a day one of you habitually fasts," and his saying: "Do not precede Ramadan with a fast of one or two days, except for a man who habitually fasts, let him fast it." Accordingly, there is no objection to fasting the White Days if they coincide with some of those specific days.
