Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from Jordan, Adnan, says: My wife fasts six days of Shawwal after the month of Ramadan, seeking additional reward and virtue. After that, she makes up the days she missed in Ramadan due to a valid religious excuse in the remaining months of the year. Is that permissible, or must she make up the missed days first?
Answer:
It is obligatory for her to make up the missed days first, then fast the six days; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 759Sahih (Darussalam) The six days are attached to Ramadan. So it is obligatory to begin with making up the missed days, then fast the six days with your permission, if you give her permission. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
