The answer

It is permissible to fast on Mondays, Thursdays, and other recommended days with the intention of obeying Allah, seeking reward, following the , and also with the intention of curbing desire through fasting. This falls under the category of "sharing intentions in worship" (al-tashreek fi al-ibadah), where one of the acts of worship is not intended for its own sake (such as fasting to curb desire), while the other is intended for its own sake (such as fasting on virtuous days). Similar examples include fasting for Allah and for diet, or performing ablution or to remove impurity while also intending to cool down.
