Using the Hadith “Do not precede Ramadan with fasting” as evidence regarding fasting after the middle of Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the hadith “Do not precede
a day or two before the month of Ramadanرمضان بصوم يوم أو يومين
Sahih al-Bukhari 1914
” used as evidence for the permissibility of fasting after the middle of Sha'ban?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it, yet you say it indicates a recommendation. This is a contradiction.
Do not fast one day or two days just before Ramadanلا تقدم رمضان بيوم ولا يوم،
Sunan Abi Dawud 2335Sahih (Al-Albani)
Even if you fast in Sha'ban and fast a lot, if only one or two days remain before Ramadan, you should refrain from fasting. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
