The Ruling on Fasting in Rajab and Sha'ban
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, regarding fasting, is there any report concerning fasting in, for example, the months of Rajab and Sha'ban?
Answer:
Yes, regarding Sha'ban, it is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast more in the month of Sha'ban than in any other month, but he did not complete the entire month, (peace and blessings be upon him). As for Rajab, no, nothing is prescribed specifically for Rajab other than what is prescribed for the other months, and it is not singled out for anything, because no specific act of worship has been established for it. Neither fasting nor prayer nor anything else. So it is like the other months. Yes.
