Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The summary of what is in her letter is that she made a vow and said, "I will fast six days in the month of Shawwal." At that time, she asked, and they said, "Fast the six days of Shawwal." She asked again, and they said, "You must leave the second day after the festival immediately, otherwise the fasting is not valid." Please guide us on this. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is a look. She vowed, yes, the original state is that it is a vow. Yes, a vow must be fulfilled; it is obligatory for her to fast six days in Shawwal. Yes.
Because she vowed that, and whoever vows to obey Allah, let him obey him, as in the hadith. So this is an obligatory vow. If she intended

at the beginning, then that is specified for her, or if she intended six days from the middle or end of Shawwal, according to what she intended, she fasts six days according to what she intended from the month. As for if she did not specify, but only said "six days from Shawwal" and did not intend specific days from Shawwal, meaning she fasts them from any part of the month, whether the beginning, the middle, or the end, the criterion is the intention. Yes.
