Fasting the six days of Shawwal before making up missed days of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
She says that she fasted the six days of Shawwal last year before making up what she owed?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that. She fasted what?
The questioner:
The six days of Shawwal.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in that, because the time for the six days of Shawwal is missed, whereas if one fasts them before the month ends, the time for making up the missed fasts is extended. So there is no harm in that, except that it is better for her to fast the make-up fasts first and then fast the six days after them, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 13:437. Yes.

Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if he had fasted the entire year
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ الدَّهْرَ
