The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you. I have a question, may Allah bless you. If one has a vow to fast three days in the month of Shawwal and wants to fast the six days, do the three days count as part of the six?
The Shaykh : No, the three days are obligatory upon him by the vow.
The questioner : Yes, that is correct. That means he fasts the six days and the three days with them.
The Shaykh : The vow, yes.
The questioner : That makes nine days, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : There is nothing on the back; everyone is in their own state.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, Shaykh. Amen. Peace be upon you.
