Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks about connecting fasting in the month of Sha'ban?
Answer:
From its beginning to its end, it is permissible. Is the hadith regarding the virtue of the middle night of Sha'ban authentic? One does not fast the entire month of Sha'ban, nor does one fast most of it. No month is completed in fasting except the month of Ramadan, and likewise the month of Muharram, for it is recommended to fast it in its entirety. So, it is obligatory to fast the entire month of Ramadan, as it is one of the pillars of Islam, except for making up missed days, or making up missed days. And as for the month of Allah, Muharram, if one fasts it in its entirety, this is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for the month of Sha'ban, one fasts it in its entirety, or rather, one fasts most of it.
