Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, the listener Abu Khalid from Makkah al-Mukarramah, asks and says: Is it permissible to fast the last day of the month of Sha'ban?
Answer:
If you have a habit of fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, and the last day happens to be a Monday or a Thursday, you fast it, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1082a.
The one who has a habit of fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, or fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, and the day of fasting happens to be the thirtieth of Sha'ban, he fasts it; because he fasts it as his custom. But if he volunteers it for the sake of Ramadan, no. This is prohibited.

Do not observe fast for a day, or two days ahead of Ramadan except a person who is in the habit of observing a particular fast; he may fast on that day.
لا تقدموا رمضان بصوم يوم ولا يومين، إلا رجل كان يصوم صومًا فليصمهThe one who has a habit of fasting one day and breaking the fast the next, or fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, and the day of fasting happens to be the thirtieth of Sha'ban, he fasts it; because he fasts it as his custom.
