# Even if Asara b'tevet falls out on a Friday one should fast until tzet hakovachim even though the fast would carry into [[shabbat]]. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 249:4. Chatam Sofer in his sefer torat moshe on the torah pg. 346 quotes the avudarham that even if asara bitevet fell out on [[shabbat]], which can no longer happen because of the way the calendar is set, we would have to fast. He explains that it is similar to the concept of fasting for a bad dream (taanit chalom), that every year on asara bitevet we are judged if we will merit to see the beit hamikdash rebuilt. </ref>
