Fasting Saturday Alone in Shawwal

Question
Is it permissible to fast Saturday alone with the intention of fasting the six days of Shawwal?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to single out fasting on Saturday with the intention of fasting the six days of Shawwal; because the dislike for it is a matter of discouragement due to resembling the Jews, and God knows best.
