Are there months in which fasting is not permissible except on the white days?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Are there months in which fasting is not permissible except on the white days?

Answer:
Specifying fasting is permissible, but specifying certain months without evidence is not permissible. For example, it is not permissible to specify the month of Rajab without evidence. However, if a person has the habit of fasting, and he fasts in the months that Allah makes easy for him, and he is consistent in this, and he fasts on the white days, Thursday, and Monday, there is nothing wrong with that. This is a recommended practice (sunnah) for all months, in Rajab and in others.
