Question
An Ashkenazi who is accustomed to praying Maariv on Friday at Plag HaMincha. His father passed away a few years ago, and the first time his fast fell on a Friday, he fasted until after nightfall. Now, for the first time, his mother's yahrzeit falls on a Friday. Should he do the same as he did for his father?
Answer
It seems that one should fast until after nightfall.
Source
It seems logical, as he has shown that when he accepts a fast on Friday, he fasts until nightfall, and here he has accepted a fast for his mother when it fell on a weekday.
