Fasting in the Month of Sha'ban
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man has a question, and more than one question about fasting. He asks, Shaykh, about fasting in the month of Sha'ban: has anything been reported regarding it?
Answer:
No, nothing has been reported regarding specifically designating the night of the middle of Sha'ban; nothing has been reported. As for increasing fasting in Sha'ban, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast a lot in Sha'ban, except that he did not complete the entire month; rather, he would fast most of it. So if one fasts in Sha'ban without specifically designating the middle, but instead fasts many days of Sha'ban, there is virtue in that and there is reward. Yes.
