In the hadith of 'Aishah that she fasted in Sha'ban whatever she owed from Ramadan, does that mean she left the six days of Shawwal?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "I used to have fasts owed from Ramadan, and I did not make them up except in Sha'ban." Does this mean that she (may Allah be pleased with her) did not fast the six days of Shawwal?

Answer:
That is the apparent meaning. If she delayed making up the fasts for the sake of the position of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), then leaving the six days is from the category of those who do so. In fact, a woman in general does not fast the six days except with her husband's consent, with his permission. She does not fast voluntary fasts except with her husband's permission if he is present.
