Disgusting act which the prophet ﷺ nor the sahaba and their followers ever did.
If you seriously want to follow the prophet ﷺ and truly love him then fast on Mondays as the prophet told us that's the day he was born.
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on Mondays. He said, "That is the day on which I was born and the day on which I received Revelation."
