Question

Hello, Regarding accepting a fast for the rectification of Shovavim on Friday, is it accepted only until midday, and how is it accepted?

Answer

Hello

Do not complete the fast. It is advisable to stipulate from the beginning when accepting it

[In principle, the rule is that a fast that is not completed is not considered a fast.

However, on the other hand, there is an issue with entering Shabbat while fasting. Only in cases where it is unavoidable, such as the 10th of Tevet that falls on a Friday, do they fast on Friday].
