The ruling on fasting the six days of Shawwal before making up the days of Ramadan

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwal before we make up the days we broke during Ramadan, or is it obligatory to make up these days first and then fast the six days of Shawwal? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is better to make up the days first, and then fast the six days of Shawwal, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) The hadith indicates that the one who has days to make up is not considered to have fasted Ramadan until he completes this making up. So he starts with the making up first, and when he is done with it, he fasts the six days of Shawwal. Yes.
