Question
I have been told that it is Sunnat to fast two days in Sha'baan, the 14th and 15th. Is this correct?
Answer
It is Sunnat to fast only one day, the 15th of Sha'baan. However, fasting on 13th, 14th and 15th of every Islamic month is Sunnat. It is therefore permissible to fast on 13th, 14th and 15th Sha'baan. But it is not a Sunnat specific with Sha'baan. The specific Sunnat of Sha'baan is to fast on the 15th.
