salam-
for those who are in the habit of fasting the white days, they are here....
For the month of dhul hajja ONLY, one is not allowed to fast the 13th since it is from the ayyamul tashreeq (see hadith below)...the days of tashreeq are the 11th, 12th, and 13th of dhul hajja (the three days after eid)
Due to this, if you would you like to begin fasting the 14th and 15th--starting this saturday-- as part of the white days, and add another day so that you receive the reward insha'allah of all 30 days of the month (since every day is multiplied by 10)
so encourage each other to fast these days, in addition to Mondays and Thursdays (hadith are below).
Please dont forget the muslim ummah in your dua.
I apologize for the lateness of this email-

The eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth of Dhu’l-Hijjah are known as the days of al-Tashreeq. It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade fasting on these days.
Muslim (1141) narrated that Nubayshah al-Hudhali (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The days of al-Tashreeq are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allaah.”
Ahmad (16081) narrated from Hamzah ibn ‘Amr al-Aslami (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he saw a man on a camel following the people in Mina, and the Prophet of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was present, and the man was saying, “Do not fast on these days for they are the days of eating and drinking.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 7355.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
The days of al-Tashreeq are the three days after Eid al-Adha. They are called the days of al-Tashreeq because the
people used to dry (yusharriqoon) the meat in the sun so that it would not turn rotten when they stored it. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said concerning these three days: “The days of al-Tashreeq are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allaah.”
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Deeds are shown (to Allaah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi
