Fasting in Shabaan

Imran Ayub

 

1.1 It is Mustahabb (recommended) to fast a great deal in the month of Shabaan

Narrated Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Allahs Apostle (peace be upon him) used to fast till one would say that he would never stop fasting, and he would abandon fasting till one would say that he would never fast. I never saw Allah's Apostle fasting for a whole month except the month of Ramadan, and did not see him fasting in any month more than in the month of Shabaan."[1]

 

1.2 The Reason for Fasting so much in Shabaan

Narrated Usaamah ibn Zayd (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "I said, O Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him), I do not see you fasting in any month more than in Shabaan.

He said, That is a month concerning which many people are heedless, between Rajab and Ramadaan. It is the month is which peoples deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up whilst I am fasting.'"[2]

 

 1.3 After the Half of Shabaan

Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When Shabaan is half over, do not fast."[3]

Sheikh  Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Even if the hadeeth is Saheeh, the prohibition in it does not mean that this is Haraam, rather it is simply makrooh (disliked), as some of the scholars have understood it to mean. But whoever has the habit of fasting regularly should fast, even if it is after halfway through Sha'baan."[4]

 

 1.4 Fasting the day of doubt

Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "None of you should fast a day or two before the month of Ramadan unless he has the habit of fasting (Nawafil) (and if his fasting coincides with that day) then he can fast that day."[5]

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. The Beneficent, the Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help. Keep us on the right path. The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.[the Holy Quran- Sura # 1,Aayat 1-7] - AMEEN "Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84) "So,verily,with every difficulty,there is relief."-[THE HOLY QURAN,094.005] "If Allah is your protector,none can overcome you,and if He forsakes you, then who can help you? Trust Allah and have faith in His sovereign power"[Qur'an, Al-Imran, Surah 3:160] "Faint not nor grieve for you will overcome them if you are(indeed) believers."[Qur'an, Aal -e-imraan-3, Aayat 139] "And say "O my Lord! I seek refuge with Thee from the suggestions of the Evil Ones.And I seek refuge with Thee O my Lord! lest they should come near me." [Qur'an, AL-MUMENOON 023.097-98] "O ye who believe!
