The Ruling on Fasting Days in Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask Allah for protection from the evil eye. As you know, this month is the month in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast, to the extent that he did not break his fast. The question is: What is the ruling on fasting Thursday and Friday until the end of the month? This is because I am a university student and I am unable to fast on study days due to hardship. Is there any blame on me for fasting in this manner?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast frequently in Sha'ban, but he did not fast the entire month. He did not fast a complete month except Ramadan. However, he used to fast much of Sha'ban; he would fast most of it. So, whoever wishes to fast in it should fast whatever is easy for him. There is no blame on you for fasting whatever is easy for you in Sha'ban. Yes.
