Making up the fast of the six days of Shawwal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner:
We begin this episode with this question from Shaykh Salih. The sender says: If the month of Shawwal has ended and I did not fast the six days, is it permissible for me to make them up?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1164a The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the six days are to be from the month of Shawwal. So whoever missed them from Shawwal has missed them for this year, yes.
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then followed it with six (fasts) of Shawwal. it would be as if he fasted perpetually.
من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه ستا من شوال كان كصيام الدهر.
