Fasting after the middle of Sha'ban and its wisdom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is fasting after the middle of Sha'ban forbidden, or is it disliked? And what is the wisdom behind that?
Answer:
The prohibition intends prohibition, and the wisdom, may Allah know best, is so that one does not mix with Ramadan what is not part of 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; there is no harm in his continuing. As for one who refrained from fasting until the middle of Sha'ban passed and then began to fast, this is prohibited. The wisdom is so that Ramadan is not mixed with other days.
