The ruling on fasting in Sha'ban after the middle of the month

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We have heard that you issue a ruling that it is permissible to fast in Sha'ban after the middle of the month for one who has not been fasting before, and that the dislike is for the sake of recommendation (tanzih). What is the accuracy of this from you? And what is the factor that diverts the hadith
When it is the middle of Sha'ban do not fastإذا انتصف شعبان فلا تصوموا
Bulugh al-Maram 5:42
?

Answer:
O my brothers, right now the talk is all talk, all argumentation and no action. Most of the people are not fasting anything from Sha'ban; they only argue, "Fasting or not fasting? This is an innovation." It is just argumentation, but there is no action. There is no power or strength except with Allah. Get up, my brother, from Sha'ban, fast whatever you want, but do not complete all of Sha'ban. Get up from it and fast whatever you want, but do not complete all of Sha'ban. Yes.
