Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Regarding my fasting of the six days of Shawwal, I had missed fasts to make up, so I fasted six days of Shawwal before making up the missed ones?
Answer:
It is better, if there is ample time in the month, to fast the make-up fasts first, then fast the six days afterward. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 13:437, and the one who has missed fasts to make up has not fasted Ramadan. However, if time is tight and only the amount of the six days remains, then fast the six days so that they are not missed, for the time for making up the missed fasts is extended, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
