The Virtue of Fasting in the Month of Allah, Muharram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: Shaykh, is there any report regarding fasting the entire month of Allah, Muharram?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
The most excellent fast after Ramadan is God's month. al-Muharramأفضل الصيام بعد رمضان شهر الله المحرم
Sahih Muslim 1163a
So he fasts most of it, not the whole of it, but he fasts most of it if he wants the reward. A full month is not fasted except Ramadan, but one may fast from Sha'ban and fast the month of Allah, Muharram, but it is not completed so that it does not resemble Ramadan. Yes.
