Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless your knowledge. A questioner asks: What is the criterion for fasting in the month of Sha'ban, and what is the wisdom behind the prohibition of fasting in Sha'ban after its midpoint?
Answer:
Fasting in the month of Sha'ban is a recommended practice (sunnah). Fasting most of it or some of it is a recommended practice (sunnah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast frequently in the month of Sha'ban. If a Muslim fasts most of it or some of it, it is a recommended practice (sunnah), praise be to Allah. If he does not fast, he owes nothing, because it is a recommended practice (sunnah), not obligatory.
