IRSYAD AL-HADITH SIRI KE-73 : HUKUM PUASA SELEPAS SEPARUH BULAN SYA’BAN
Is it permissible to fast after the middle of Sya’ban?

Summary
This irsyad concludes that fasting after 15 Sya’ban is permitted, because the hadith prohibiting it is judged weak and conflicts with a sound hadith. The prohibition is understood to apply to those who do not habitually fast, while those with a habit, such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, the white days or the fast of Prophet Daud, may fast. The Shafi’i school holds it haram or makruh for those without such a habit who do not link it to preceding days, but the majority of jurists permit it. Making up missed Ramadan fasts is also encouraged at this time.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, kami nyatakan sekali lagi bahawa puasa selepas daripada 15 Sya'ban adalah dibenarkan kerana hadith yang melarang untuk berpuasa adalah lemah dan bercanggah dengan hadith yang sahih.
