Answer: To observe fast on Friday with the intention that fasting on Friday is specifically desirable, is Makrūĥ [disapproved] but its disapproval is not strong enough to necessitate breaking the fast.

If the objecting person was unaware of the Makrūĥ intention, then his objection is a silly act altogether and breaking the fast is a severe daring in matters of Sharī’aĥ. Even if he was aware [of the Makrūĥ intention], mere conveying the ruling was sufficient. There was no need at all to force the fasting person into breaking his fast and that too in the afternoon, which is not authorized to anyone except for parents provided the fast is Nafl. The one breaking the fast and the other person forcing him into breaking it – both are sinners. Qaḍā [of that fast] is obligatory for the one breaking the fast. No expiation is required. وَاللّٰهُ تَعَالٰي اَعۡلَم
