Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is better, to fast the make-up days first and then fast the six days of Shawwal, or the other way around?
Answer:
The make-up days have a wide time frame, whereas the six days of Shawwal are missed if delayed, so he should fast the six days of Shawwal. However, Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) says that it is necessary for him to fast the make-up days first, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 13:437 and the one who has make-up days from Ramadan has not fasted. Yes.
