Question:
Among the questions that came in to the program before it started, one says: “Shaykh, I fast the entire month of Sha'ban. Is my fast valid while I am preparing to fast the coming month of Sha'ban?”
Answer:
Yes, fasting a lot in Sha'ban is recommended (mustahabb). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast a lot in the month of Sha'ban, but he did not complete the whole month; he did not fast the entirety of Sha'ban, but rather he fasted most of it, and this is the Sunnah. Yes.
