Question:
May Allah reward you. The brother questioner who sent this question by fax says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, may Allah keep you safe, I fasted Ramadan, praise be to Allah, and on the second day of Shawwal I was involved in an accident that kept me in bed until the end of Shawwal. I am now in these days of Dhul-Qa'dah and I want to fast the six days of Shawwal with the intention of reward and recompense. Is it obligatory for me to do so?
Answer:
My brother, the six days have passed. The six days are confined to Shawwal. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Follow it with six days of Shawwal.” So nothing else can take their place. But the door is open for voluntary fasting. You can fast the white days. You can fast three days of every month. You can fast Monday and Thursday of every week. The scope is open, praise be to Allah. Yes.
