If we make up the days we missed in Ramadan during Shawwal, will we be credited with the reward of fasting six days of Shawwal?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How is the Shaykh doing?
The Shaykh : Go on, like that, I’m getting sleepy.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : Shaykh, we have some questions, is that possible?
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Shaykh, some people fast in Ramadan to make up for Ramadan during Shawwal?
The Shaykh : They fast.
The questioner : If we fast to make up for Ramadan in Shawwal, and those days are the days of making up or more, will we get the reward of fasting six days of Shawwal mentioned in the hadith?
The Shaykh : Correct your question, correct your question!
The questioner : If we fast to make up for Ramadan in Shawwal, and these days of making up are six days or more, will our fasting this make-up during Shawwal, with the intention of making up, also include the intention of obtaining the reward of the six days of Shawwal mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the hadith of Abu Ayyub and others:?
The Shaykh : Yes, you get the reward of the intention only, meaning one good deed for the make-up in Shawwal; you have one intention. As for the multiplied reward, that is for the make-up. In other words, there are two men who owe six days of make-up from Ramadan. One fasted six days in Shawwal and did not have the intention of the six days of Shawwal, so he gets ten good deeds or more for each day. The other fasted six days in Shawwal with two intentions: the first intention is to make up the six days of Ramadan, and the second intention is to make the make-up in Shawwal for the virtue of fasting six days of Shawwal. This one increases by one good deed over the first. Did you hear?
The questioner : I mean.
The Shaykh : Did you hear?
The questioner : The second one gets the reward of the hadith of Abu Ayyub, meaning? As if he fasted the days of the whole year?
The Shaykh : Did you hear? May Allah guide you. I am asking you, did you hear what I am telling you? Say and speak!
The questioner : I heard, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And did you understand? Say no?
The questioner : I did not understand.
The Shaykh : Ah, then why do you repeat the words? I told you one of them fasted six days of make-up from Ramadan.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This is one intention.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The other fasted six days of what he owed from Ramadan; this is an intention.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Like the first, but he added to the first that he intended to make it in Shawwal, so with this second intention his reward increases over the first.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, I understood, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Do you understand?
The questioner : Yes, yes, I understood, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
The questioner : Shaykh, the second question.
The Shaykh : Before the second, I will add some clarification.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : There is a third man!
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He made up six days of what he owed, then followed that with six other days he fasted.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So this one is better than the second, clear?
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How is the Shaykh doing?
The Shaykh : Go on, like that, I’m getting sleepy.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.

Whoever follows Ramadan with six days of Shawwal is like fasting the whole year.
مَن أتبع رمضان ستًّا من شوال فهو كصيام الدهرThe Shaykh : Yes, you get the reward of the intention only, meaning one good deed for the make-up in Shawwal; you have one intention. As for the multiplied reward, that is for the make-up. In other words, there are two men who owe six days of make-up from Ramadan.
