Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there is an expiation by fasting two consecutive months and one of them coincides with fasting in the month of Rajab, what is the ruling? This is not intentional; he fasts in Rajab,
Answer:
he fasts in Rajab because he did not single out Rajab; rather, this is continuous fasting for the expiation, so he continues and fasts in Rajab. There is nothing wrong with it. However, it is said that singling out Rajab is disliked. He did not single it out; rather, it came about incidentally.
