Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
This contradicts what is required. It appears that he has not fulfilled the recommended practice unless he delays the six days until after making up the missed days. We hope for reward for him, but he has not fulfilled the recommended practice unless he delays the six days, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The questioner:
But should it be said, “Pray six more days, may Allah reward you,” so that he follows the practice?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. Yes.
