The questioner:
The questioner: The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Bulugh al-Maram 5:42 asks: Is this hadith authentic? And if I fast after the middle of Sha'ban, is there anything required of me?
The Shaykh:
It is more likely that there is no harm in this, and you should not fast after the middle of Sha'ban, for the hadith forbids you from doing so.
The questioner:
The questioner: May Allah reward you. This one asks: Is every expiation by feeding people?
The Shaykh:
The Shaykh: But if you were fasting before the middle of the month, then you continue your fasting, and there is no harm in that. However, if you were not fasting before the middle, the hadith prohibits you from fasting after the middle. Yes.
