The Ruling on Fasting After the Middle of Sha'ban and Its Wisdom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is fasting after the middle of Sha'ban forbidden, or is it disliked? And what is the wisdom behind that?
Answer:
The prohibition implies that it is forbidden, and the wisdom, and Allah knows best, is so that nothing is added to Ramadan that does not belong to it, as a precaution for Ramadan. One does not fast after the middle of the month except for one who was fasting from the beginning of the month, in which case there is no harm in continuing. As for one who refrained from fasting until the middle of Sha'ban and then began to fast, this is prohibited. The wisdom is that Ramadan should not be mixed with other days. Yes.
