Making up the six days of Shawwal in Dhul Qa'dah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Muhammad from 'Arar says: I fast the entire month of Shawwal to make up for my specific circumstances during the blessed month of Ramadan, and I want to fast the six days of Shawwal. Should I make them up in the month of Dhul Qa'dah?

Answer:
No, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) whose time has passed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Six days of Shawwal,ست من شوال،
from Shawwal, so they are not to be fasted in any month other than Shawwal. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you and reward you.
