Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed to fast the entire month of Sha'ban?
Answer:
No, and nothing of Sha'ban is prescribed, nor the middle of Sha'ban. What is prescribed is only for one who has a habit of fasting, such as fasting three days of every month; he fasts them in Sha'ban and in other months.
