Is it permissible to perform the fasting of six days of Shawwal before the fasting for expiation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: A man has an expiation of two consecutive months of fasting, and he wishes to fast six days of Shawwal. Is that permissible for him?
Answer: It is obligatory to hasten with the fasting for expiation, so it is not permissible to perform the six days before it; because the six days are voluntary and the expiation is obligatory, and it is required immediately. Therefore, it must be prioritized over the fasting of the six days and other voluntary fasts.
