  In this paper we derive the restricted weighted maximal operator, defined by
${\sup }_{k\in \mathbb{N}}\left(\left\vert \sigma
_{k}F\right\vert/A^2_k\right)$ of Fej\'er means of Walsh-Fourier series and
prove that the it is bounded from the martingale Hardy space $H_{1/2}(G)$ to
the Lebesgue space $L_{1/2}(G).$ The sharpness of this result is also proved.
As a consequence we obtain some new and and well-know results.
