Is fasting in the last few days of Sha’baan forbidden by Prophet S.A.W?

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

The two Hadith you quoted above means that if one fears in keeping fast in the second half of Sha’ban or one or two fast before Ramadhan may make him weak by the time Ramadhan comes, then he should not keep fast in the second half of Sha’ban or one or two days prior to Ramadhan.

One should remember not to fix any date of fast during this month i.e, keeping fast for 6 days before Ramadhan (as you mentioned above) or specifically on 15th of Sha’ban etc.

Fasting in the month of Sha’ban without the specification of any day is proven from Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Infact, he used to fast excessively during this month.
