Fasting Rajab, Sha'ban, and Ramadan Consecutively
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who fasts three consecutive months, Rajab, Sha'ban, and Ramadan, is it permissible, knowing that he does this every year?
Answer:
We know that many scholars hold that it is not permissible to single out Rajab by combining it with Sha'ban, but leaving it is better; leaving Rajab is better. If one fasts Sha'ban along with [Rajab], there is no harm, but leaving Rajab is better in order to avoid imitating the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance.
