The ruling on fasting frequently in Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it recommended to fast frequently in Sha'ban? And did our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) fast in it?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast frequently in Sha'ban, except that he did not fast the entire month; he would leave some of it. It is from the Sunnah (recommended practice) for a person to fast frequently in Sha'ban, fasting most of it, but not completing it. Yes.
