Fasting On Rajab.
There is no Sunnah or Nafl fast for the month of Rajab specifically.
Hafiz ibn Rajab al-Hanbaliy [RA] states that there is no specific fasts for the month of Rajab established from Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] nor his companions [Sahaaba [Radhiallaahu Anhu].’ (Lataaiful Ma’arif pg.166; Cairo)
Fasting On Shabaan.
The tradition relating to the merits of fasting on 15th of Shabaan is, no doubt, a weak tradition, not competent to prove this practice to be a Sunnah or a formal Mustahabb, but it can be acted upon as a measure of precaution, provided that the practice is not taken as Sunnah or a formal Mustahabb. It is for these reasons that some Ulama and elders have been fasting on the 15th of Shabaan and have been taking it an advisable practice.
