The basis for the haftorah at mincha on a fast day is from the gemara Tanit 12b discussing a fast for a drought and codified by the Rambam Taniyot 1:17. However, the Masechet Sofrim 17:5 writes that there were different minhagim whether or not to say a haftorah of Dirshu Hashem at mincha on a fast day or no haftorah. Bet Yosef 575:2 points out that the Rambam Tefillah 13:18 implies that there is no haftorah for a fast day besides for Tisha B'av or a fast for a drought and that the minhag of Sephardim was not to say a haftorah. Yalkut Yosef Moadim page 545 as well as Yechave Daat 5:40 say that the custom of the sephardim is not to say a haftorah except on tisha b'av where even sephardim have a haftara for [[shacharit]] and [[mincha]]. </ref> If a Sephardi is asked to go up he should try and refuse, unless he has already been called by name, in which case he should go up and say the [[berachot]]. <ref> Yalkut Yosef Moadim page 546 </ref> | ||
# Ashkenazim have a custom is certain verses are read aloud by the congregation. The individual who is called up for that aliyah should not read the verses aloud with the congregation but instead should wait until the reader says them aloud and read along with him. <ref> Mishna Brurah 566:3, Shaare Ephraim 8:107 </ref> | # Ashkenazim have a custom is certain verses are read aloud by the congregation.

# On a weekday other than a monday and thursday, somebody who is not fasting may not receive an aliya to the torah. <ref> Mishna Brurah 566:19, Aruch Hashulchan 566:11, Rivevot Ephraim 3:338:2. The Halichot Shlomo Moadim 2:13:footnote 10 says if one ate a small amount of food he may still receive an aliya on a fast day. </ref> On a monday or thursday, since there is torah reading anyway, some poskim permit it. <ref> Magen Avraham 566:8 one who is not fasting may receive an aliyah because the torah would have been read even if not for the fast, while the Maamar Mordechai 566:5 disagrees since the content of the Torah reading is for that of a fast day and not for the week's parsha. Mishna Brurah 566:19 says if one was already called up everyone agrees that he may go up. Yalkut Yosef page 549 says that even if you were called up by name, you should explain to them that you are not fasting, and even adds that this applies where you are currently fasting but do not plan on finishing the fast. </ref> | # On a weekday other than a monday and thursday, somebody who is not fasting may not receive an aliya to the torah. <ref> Mishna Brurah 566:19, Aruch Hashulchan 566:11, Rivevot Ephraim 3:338:2.
