Islamic Calendar Ramazan Etc

[Vale of Tempe]

From Imam Sadiq (as) ... donno saheeh or not

 

Shaban would never be of 30 days
Ramadhan will never be less than 30 days
Shawal will be of 29 days
Zeeqad 30 days
Zilhajj 29 days
Muharram 30
other months are full (30) or of lesser duration (29 days)

Note: "you should complete the number" = must fast 30 days in Ramazan ???

The month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you difficulty, and (He desires) that you should complete the number and that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you and that you may give thanks.

(  سورة البقرة  , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #185)

This narration appears in Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih which is a compilation that omits the isanad so it's reliability would be impossible to establish from a rijaali perspective. Perhaps someone with more extensive knowledge such as Qa'im, Dar'ul_Islam, or Nader Zaveri could address this inshallah.
