Question: Is it permissible
to fast six days from Shawwaal before one makes up that which is due upon him
from days wherein be broke his fast during Ramadhan?
Answer:
If
one is able to make up the days wherein he broke his fast during Ramadhan, and
then fast the six days then this is an affair which is good. If he is not able
to fast them both then it is permissible for him to fast the six days regarding
which the Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said:
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ بِسِتٍّ مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ الدَّهْرَ كله
