Fasting on the Day of Doubt

Question
If a person is accustomed to fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, and the Day of Doubt coincides with these days, is it permissible to fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The day of doubt is the day that follows the twenty-ninth of Sha'ban. The day begins without the state announcing whether it is a day of fasting or breaking the fast. It is permissible to fast it as a voluntary act for those who can firmly intend to fast it as a voluntary act. In these days, the day of doubt does not appear due to the announcement of the states at night regarding fasting or breaking the fast, and God knows best.
