Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I want to intend to fast the three white days along with the six days of Shawwal. Is that possible?
Answer:
Do you think you will lose out? This is not permissible. You fast the white days on their own, and you fast the six days on their own. You need the reward if you want to follow the Sunnah. But if you want to shorten it, your reward is shortened just as you shortened the act. Yes.
