Is it permissible to fast six days of Shawwal with the intention of making up missed fasts and voluntary fasting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks another question and says: Is it permissible for a woman to combine fasting six days of Shawwal with making up what she owes from Ramadan in these six days, with the intention of both making up the fasts and earning the reward? Or must she make up the fasts first and then fast the six days of Shawwal?
Answer:
Yes, she starts by making up the fasts, and then she fasts the six days if she wishes. The six days are a voluntary prayer (nafilah). If she makes up what she owes in Shawwal and then fasts the six days in Shawwal, that is a great good. As for fasting the six days with the intention of making up the fasts and the six days, it does not appear to us that she would thereby obtain the reward of the six days. The six days require a specific intention on specific days. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
