Is it permissible to combine the days of voluntary fasting and fast them in one or two months?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a Muslim to fast voluntary fasts in one or two months only, instead of fasting three days of every month?

Answer:
No, fasting three days of every month is continuous; it is a continuous sunnah (recommended practice). Fasting one or two months does not replace it. If he fasts one or two months, he gets the reward for his fasting, but it does not take the place of the three days of every month. Yes.
