Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Voluntary fasting after the middle of the month, the month of Sha'ban?

Answer:
If he did not fast the first half, he does not fast after the half if he did not fast in the first half.
Q: Any voluntary fast whatsoever?
The Shaykh: Fasting, I mean, unless he fasts Mondays and Thursdays, in which case there is no harm in fasting, if it is his habit to fast Mondays and Thursdays, he does not contradict it.
Q: Or the white days?
The Shaykh: The white days are before the first half.
Q: If he delayed them, for example?
The Shaykh: No, the white days are the 13th, 14th, and 15th; these are the white days.
Q: If he did not intend to fast until after the 15th of Sha'ban?
The Shaykh: He does not start; because of the hadith:
When it is the middle of Sha'ban do not fastإذا انتصف شعبان فلا تصوموا
Bulugh al-Maram 5:42
.
Q: If he fasted one day in the first half of Sha'ban, does he fast the second half?
The Shaykh: Its apparent meaning is that there is no harm, if he had something before it, there is no harm in continuing; the point is to fast most of Sha'ban, this is the point, most of Sha'ban.
