Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is permissible to fast on a Saturday if one does not regard fasting on Saturday’s as compulsory. If you kept your Qadha fast on Saturday, that is valid. You do not have to fast on Sunday.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
