Sheikh Al-Albani
Sheikh: If this fasting is from his Ijtihād and knowledge and not otherwise, there is no sin upon him because he is a Mujtahid (striving to find the correct ruling). So, he is rewarded in every situation.
However, the person who is prohibited from fasting is the one who knows it is the day of ʿEid, And despite that, he fasts it. This is the one for whom the known prohibition is applied.
