Fasting the second half of Sha'ban
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Fasting the second half of Sha'ban, may Allah forgive you, for one who has not made it a habit.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not fast before Ramadan by one or two days." Do not fast after the half if he did not fast the first half of the month. Do not start fasting after the half, and do not fast the end of the month either.
The questioner:
The hadith of prohibition is established regarding the second half of Sha'ban. It is not permissible to fast one or two days before it. Do not advance.
The Shaykh:
It is more severe, if it is one or two days before the middle of the month, it is more severe in sin. However, the prohibition does not begin after the middle of the month, and fasting one or two days before Ramadan is more severe in sin. We ask Allah for well-being.
The questioner:
May Allah grant you well-being, may Allah grant you well-being.
The Shaykh:
If it returns, I am in distress.
The questioner:
The day and the two days.
The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Except if it is in his fast. If one of you fasts, and he used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, and the end of the month coincides with a Monday and a Thursday, and he fasts one day and preaches on one day, and his day of fasting coincides with the thirtieth of Sha'ban, he fasts; because he is not suspected of intending to be cautious for Ramadan.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
Because he is fasting his custom.
