The answer

If Saturday coincides with a compulsory fast, or a make-up fast, or the fasting of legislated days such as the White Days, Arafah, Ashura, the six days of Shawwal, and the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, or if it coincides with a habitual fast, such as someone who fasts one day and breaks fast the next, then there is no harm in fasting it, as long as one does not intend to single it out for fasting, believing there is a special merit in it. However, singling it out for a voluntary, solitary fast is the subject of prohibition, if the is authentic.
