Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it true that it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: “It is not recommended to fast after the second half of Sha'ban?”
Answer:
Yes, a hadith was reported:Bulugh al-Maram 5:42 meaning that one does not begin fasting after the half of the month. However, if one has been fasting from the beginning, before the half, and continues fasting after the half, there is no contradiction. Yes, the discussion is about the one who did not fast at the beginning of the month and starts after the middle of the month; there is a prohibition in that. Yes.
