The ruling on fasting in the month of Sha'ban?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My mother fasts every year in the month of Sha'ban, from the first day until the fifteenth. Is this considered a religious innovation or a recommended practice?

Answer:
Answer: No, this is a recommended practice. Fasting frequently in the month of Sha'ban is a recommended practice, the recommended practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It is before Ramadan, so he fasts voluntarily before the obligatory fast, just as you perform the regular voluntary prayers before the obligatory prayer.
