The Order of Making Up Ramadan and Fasting the Six Days of Shawwal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
The blessing of the heavens and the earth.
The questioner:
She experienced post-natal bleeding during the month of Ramadan, so she asks: Should I fast the six days of Shawwal first and then make up Ramadan?
The Shaykh:
Yes, you start with making up the missed days. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts [Ramadan] and then follows it with six [days of Shawwal]..." The six days are attached to it. You start with making up the missed days, then the six days. If the six days are missed, the matter is broad; it is a voluntary prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
The blessing of the heavens and the earth.
