The Ruling on Fasting the Month of Sha'ban and Its Superiority

Question:
As for what follows, O brothers, we present your questions this night, the thirtieth of the month of Rajab, to the Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan. And this question, O Honorable Shaykh, says: I hope for a detailed explanation regarding the issue of fasting the month of Sha'ban and its superiority, and how to reconcile it with the hadith and the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted all of Sha'ban, and the hadith that he never completed a month in its entirety except Ramadan.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast a lot in Sha'ban, so he would fast most of it. But he did not complete it. So his statement that he fasted Sha'ban means he fasted most of it. And the month may be mentioned while referring to most of the month. The month is described as most of the month.
So there is no contradiction between his prohibition of completing it, or that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast a complete month except Ramadan, and no contradiction with the fact that he used to fast a lot in Sha'ban, so he would fast from it and fast a lot, except that he did not complete it. Yes.
