The Ruling on Fasting the Second Half of Sha'ban

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: It has been difficult for me. Before Ramadan, while I was browsing and reading in one of the books, I came across the hadith: "When Sha'ban is half over, fast."

Answer:
No, the opposite is the case:
When it is the middle of Sha'ban do not fastإذا انتصف شعبان فلا تصوموا
Bulugh al-Maram 5:42
. It is permissible to fast from the beginning of Sha'ban, or even from the end of the month. As for the one who did not fast from the beginning of the month, and the month is now half over and he has not fasted, he must refrain from fasting to protect Ramadan, so that it is not preceded by additional fasting. Yes.
