Can you explain why fasting is considered makrooh on Fridays?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Someone says fasting on Friday is makrooh as Friday is considered as an Eid day in Islam. Is this correct?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1435/1435/M=1433)

Hadith stops only from keeping fast on Friday. If someone wants to keep fast on Friday then he should add one day before or after it. It is not a valid reason that it is makrooh to keep fast on Friday due to resemblance of Eid day.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
