The virtue of fasting them

It is reported from Abu Dharr (may God be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If you fast three days of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth” (reported by al-Tirmidhi and al-Nasa'i). Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays is also recommended. For the detailed rulings, please consult scholars in your country.
