Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible, Honorable Shaykh, he says: What is the ruling on increasing righteous deeds in Rajab and Sha'ban, such as fasting, charity, and standing in night prayer, in preparation for the month of Ramadan?
Answer:
As for Rajab, it is not singled out for anything; it is like the other months, because no evidence has been established for singling it out for worship over the others; it is merely like the other months. As for Sha'ban, it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast most of it in preparation for the month of Ramadan. Yes.
