Is it permissible to fast the entire month of Sha'ban?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We received this question, Honorable Shaykh Salih. Regarding Sha'ban, I want to fast the entire month. What is the Shaykh's opinion on that?

Answer:
The month of Sha'ban is not fasted in its entirety; rather, most of it is fasted, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast a lot in Sha'ban, but he did not complete the whole month. Yes.
