The ruling on fasting six days of Shawwal in a month other than Shawwal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does fasting six days in any month other than Shawwal, after Ramadan, carry the same virtue and reward, which is fasting the year, on the basis that a good deed is multiplied tenfold, whether in Shawwal or otherwise? And does the restriction to Shawwal have no implication?
Answer:
This is a change to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 13:440, so do it in Shawwal. It is not permissible for us to take it out of Shawwal and make it in the month of Dhul-Qa'dah or Dhul-Hijjah. This is a change to the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, it is specific to Shawwal, specific to Shawwal. When Shawwal ends, the fasting of the six ends. Yes.
