Fasting in Sha'ban for the one who fasts one day and breaks the fast the next

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person used to fast one day and break the fast the next, and the month of Sha'ban has arrived, what is better for him: to fast the entire month, or to continue with his usual practice of fasting?

Answer:
Sha'ban is not to be fasted in its entirety; rather, most of it is to be fasted. So he should continue with his usual practice of fasting, meaning he fasts one day and breaks the fast the next, which means he has fasted a large portion of the month. Praying with the imam, or yes.
