The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I have one day remaining from fasting the six days of Shawwal, so I fasted it on last Friday because it coincided with the thirteenth day. Some of the brothers objected to my fasting Friday alone. Is their objection correct?
The Shaykh:
Yes, repeat the question.

The Shaykh:
You intended to complete the six days, and you did not intend to fast Friday alone; you did not want to single it out, but rather you wanted to complete a day that was still owed to you. So I do not see any obstacle in this.
