The ruling on spreading out the fasting of Mondays and Thursdays in Rajab and Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This woman sent the program a set of questions. In her first question she says: Shaykh, is it permissible to spread out the fasting of Monday and Thursday of each year only in the months of Rajab and Sha'ban, rather than the rest of the year?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Rather, one fasts Monday and Thursday. It is recommended for him to fast Monday and Thursday of every week, and he does not single out the month of Rajab, the month of Sha'ban, or a specific month for fasting Monday and Thursday. Rather, he fasts Monday and Thursday throughout the year, in every week. This is recommended.
