The questioner : Is fasting the thirtieth of Shawwal included in the six days if the month is twenty-nine days in the calendar?
The Shaykh : The calendar is based on calculation.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is not based on sighting, and for this reason you will find that it has timed the months from the first month of the year to the last month before the end of the year is reached. Based on this, we say that if the month is twenty-nine days in the calendar and the month before it was completed as thirty days, then the original state is that the second month remains.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 2122Sahih (Darussalam) And based on this, we say: Shawwal is counted as thirty days, even if it is twenty-nine days in the calendar. Yes.
