Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding the issue of performing the six days of Shawwal before making up missed fasts? And regarding the woman who is postpartum and owes a full month, is she permitted to perform the six days first so that she does not miss them?
Answer:
By Allah, if we look at the hadith, "Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal," it is clear that the six days are to be fasted by the one who fasted Ramadan. As for the one who owes making up fasts, he has not fasted Ramadan, so he begins with making up the missed fasts first. Yes.
