Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it the Sunnah to fast the six days of Shawwal starting from the second day of Shawwal, or should one delay them and not hasten to do so after the festival?

Answer:
It is permissible to fast six days of Shawwal, whether at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end, but the sooner one hastens, the better it is.
