Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, I have questions?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Can we intend to fast six days of Shawwal along with ...?
The Shaykh : Yes, if the woman first intends to make up the fasts she owes from Ramadan, and then adds the intention for the six days of Shawwal to that intention, that is better for her than limiting herself to the first intention.
The questioner : I mean, together? The sound is not clear.
The Shaykh : I told you: Yes, it is permissible to intend the first intention for making up what she owes from Ramadan. Is this understood by you?
The questioner : I mean ...
The Shaykh : She needs to, I mean, say it. Did you understand? Did you hear?
The questioner : No, no, I did not hear. Repeat it.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it. Peace be upon you.
The questioner : Yes. Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, I tell you, it is permissible for her to intend the first intention as making up what she owes from Ramadan, and to add to this intention the intention for six days of Shawwal. This is better than limiting herself to the first intention. Did you hear?
The questioner : Yes, I heard.
The Shaykh : And did you understand?
The questioner : I understood.
The Shaykh : Good, then.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : This answer actually gives two answers. The first answer: It is permissible for her to limit herself to making up what she owes, and this is her obligation. This is the first scenario. The second scenario: She adds to this intention the intention for six days of Shawwal. And the third scenario: She makes up six days exclusively for the sake of making up the fasts, then she fasts six other days exclusively for the six days of Shawwal.
The questioner : I mean, are the three cases permissible?
The Shaykh : Yes, did you understand now?
The questioner : I understood, I understood.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, I have questions?
The Shaykh: Yes.
