Fasting Fewer Than Six Days of Shawwal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Muhammad from Ha'il, O our Shaykh, is asking. Please, Brother Muhammad.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you.

The presenter:
Peace, and the mercy and blessings of Allah, be upon you.

The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace.

The questioner:
Good evening to you and the listeners. My long life, my question is about the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) who said:
Whoever fasts Ramadan and then fasts six days of Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the entire year.من صام رمضان واتباع ست من شوال كأنه ما صام الدهر كله
For example, the one who fasts fewer than six, for example three days, is it as if he did not fast? For example, six months, or is there no specific number?

The Shaykh:
No. It is obligatory for the one who wants the reward and wants to follow the Sunnah to fast six days; he does not suffice with some of them. Yes.

The presenter:
All right.

The questioner:
In another question.

The presenter:
It has become, Brother Muhammad.

The questioner:
No, my long life, thank you.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
