Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, is it obligatory to fast six days of Shawwal every year consistently?
Answer:
It is not obligatory; it is recommended. If he wishes, he may do it, and if he wishes, he may leave it. However, it is not befitting for a person to leave it, fasting it in some years and leaving it in others, because he is in need of the reward and good, in need of the reward. So, being consistent in fasting it every year is better. Yes.
