As Salaam o Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barkatuh!     and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. [Baqarah:185]   Fasting Six Days Of Shawwal   Abu Ayyub al-Ansari reported Allah's Messenger as saying: He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then (after the festivity of Eid) followed it with six (fasts) of Shawwal. it would be as if he fasted perpetually. [Sahih Muslim]   FASTING SIX DAYS OF SHAWWAL (Sittu Min Shawwal) by  Anonymous  Shawwal is the tenth month in the lunar calendar, as mentioned earlier. The first of Shawwal is Eidul Fitr. After the festivity of Eid it is recommended to observe six days of fast. This fast may be observed continuously non-break, or it may be observed one day at a time. If you observe it continuously, you may start on the fourth day and end on the ninth of day Shawwal, or you may select days at random, provided you complete six days before the end of Shawwal. For instance, you may observe the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, 14th and 15th days. Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (raa) related the Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alaihi Wasallam), said: "Whoever observes the Ramadan fast and follows it with six days of fast in Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted Dahr (the whole year)." (Bukhari) It has been mentioned earlier that Dahr means the whole year. Possibly it may also mean forever, or for life. Analyzing this hadith, our jurists (`Ulama) explained how according to this hadith, a Muslim who fasts during Ramadan every year and follows it with six days fast of Shawwal, will be credited for fasting a whole lifetime. The Jurists correctly said: A good deed (hasanah) is rewarded a minimum of ten times its equivalent. It follows, then, that ... one Ramadan is equivalent to ten months of fasting, and the clincher, six days, is equal to two months, (6x10=60). That undoubtedly completes the year's twelve months. Thus, we see the wisdom and the reason why the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) mentioned six days after Ramadan in Shawwal, not five or seven. Source: www.jannah.org   URL http://www.ahadees.com/images/ahadees/group/g918.gif   Can a person start fasting six days of Shawwaal when he still has days to make up from Ramadaan? Question: If a person fasts six days of Shawwaal after Ramadaan when he has not yet completed the Ramadaan fast because he did not fast ten days of Ramadaan for a legitimate reason will he have the same reward as a person who fasted all of Ramadaan and followed it with six days of Shawwaal, i.e. will he be like a person who fasted for a lifetime? Please explain to us, may Allaah reward you with good. Answer: Praise be to Allaah. The precise rewards for the deeds which people do for the sake of Allaah is something which is known only to Allaah. If a person seeks the reward from Allaah and strives to obey Him, his reward will not be lost, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "We shall not make the reward of anyone who does his (righteous) deeds in the most perfect manner to be lost." [al-Kahf 18:30]. If someone has missed some of the days of Ramadaan, he should fast them first, then fast six days of Shawwaal, because he cannot follow the fast of Ramadaan with six days of Shawwaal unless he has completed his Ramadaan fast. And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and grant them peace. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 10/392   When should a Muslim start fasting six days of Shawwaal? Question: When can I start fasting six days of Shawwal, since we have annual leave right now? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. You can start fasting six days of Shawwaal from the second day of Shawwaal, because it is haraam to fast on the day of Eid. You can fast the six days at any time during Shawwaal, although the best of good deeds are those which are done soonest. The standing committee received the following question: Should fasting the six days be done immediately after Ramadaan, following the day of Eid or is it permissible to do it a few days after Eid in the month of Shawwaal or not? They replied as follows: These days do not have to be fasted immediately after Eid al-Fitr; it is permissible to start fasting them one or more days after Eid, and they may be done consecutively or separately during the month of Shawwaal, according to what is easier for a person. There is plenty of room for maneuver in this matter, and this is not obligatory, it is Sunnah.. And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions and grant them peace. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 10/391 مسلمان شوال کے چھ روزے کب شروع کرے شوال کے چھ روزے کب شروع کیے جاسکتے ہیں ، اس لیے کہ اب ہمیں سالانہ چھٹیاں ہیں ؟ الحمد للہ شوال کی ابتداء میں ہی دو شوال کو روزے رکھنے ممکن ہیں کیونکہ عید کے دن روزہ رکھنا حرام ہے ، اوریہ بھی ممکن ہے کہ شوال کے مہینہ میں کسی بھی تاريخ کو روزے رکھنے ممکن ہیں ، اورنیکی میں جلدی کرنی چاہیے ۔ لجنۃ دائمہ میں مندرجہ ذيل سوال پیش کیا گيا : کیا شوال کے چھ روزے عیدکے دوسرے دن سے شروع کرنے جائز ہیں ، یا پھر عید کے چند دن بعد مسلسل چھ روزے رکھنے جائز ہیں کہ نہیں ؟ لجنۃ کا جواب تھا : عید الفطر کے فورا بعد روزے رکھنا لازم نہيں ، بلکہ جائز ہے کہ عید کے ایک یا دو دن بعد روزے رکھنے جائز ہيں ، لیکن اگر وہ مسلسل یا علیحدہ علیحدہ شوال میں ہی روزے رکھے تویہ بھی جائز ہے ، اس معاملہ میں وسعت ہے اورپھر یہ روزے رکھنا سنت ہیں نہ کہ فرض ۔ اللہ تعالی ہی توفیق بخشنے والا ہے اللہ تعالی ہمارے نبی محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ان کی آل اورصحابہ کرام پر اپنی رحمتیں نازل فرمائے ۔ واللہ اعلم . دیکھیں فتاوی لجنۃ الدائمۃ ( 10 / 391 ) ۔   Should a woman start with making up missed fasts from Ramadaan or with the six days of Shawwaal? Question: What should a woman do first: fast the six recommended days of Shawwal ( Alayam Alsetta Albeed) or fast equivalent to the days she missed in Ramadan due to her monthly period? Answer: Praise be to Allaah. If she wants to earn the reward mentioned in the hadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), "Whoever fasts Ramadaan then follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime" (reported by Muslim, no.. 1984), then she should complete her Ramadaan fasts first, then follow it with six days of Shawwaal, so that the hadeeth with be applicable to her too, and she will gain the reward mentioned in it. As regards the matter of permissibility, it is permissible for her to delay making up her Ramadaan fasts, provided that she makes them up before the next Ramadaan comes along. Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid کیا عورت شوال کے چھ روزرکھے یا قضاء رمضان سے ابتداء کرے کیا عورت ماہواری کی وجہ سے چھوڑے ہوئے رمضان کی قضاء پہلے کرے یا کہ شوال کے چھ روزے رکھنے چاہييں ؟ الحمد للہ جب آپ حدیث میں وارد شدہ اجروثواب حاصل کرنا چاہتی ہوں جوکہ مندرجہ ذيل حدیث میں ہے : ( جس نے رمضان المبارک کے روزے رکھنے کے بعد شوال کے چھ روزے رکھے وہ پورے سال کے روزوں کی طرح ہی ہے ) صحیح مسلم حدیث نمبر ( 1984 ) ۔ اس لیے عورت کو چاہیے کہ وہ پہلے رمضان المبارک کے روزے مکمل کرے اورپھر شوال کے چھ روزے رکھے تا کہ حدیث کے مطابق عمل ہوسکے اوراسے مذکورہ اجروثواب حاصل ہو ۔ لیکن اگر وہ پہلے شوال کے چھ روزے رکھے اوررمضان کی قضاء کو مؤخر کردے تویہ بھی جائز ہے لیکن رمضان کی قضاء آنے والے رمضان سے پہلے پہلے مکمل کرنا ضروری ہے ۔ واللہ اعلم . الشیخ محمد صالح المنجد   Do the six days of Shawwaal have to be fasted consecutively? Question With regard to the six days of Shawwal after Ramadaan, is it a condition that they should be fasted consecutively, or can I separate them? I want to fast them in three sessions, on the two days of the weekend. Praise be to Allaah. It is not a necessary condition that they should be fasted consecutively. If you fast them separately or consecutively, it is OK. The sooner you do them, the better, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meanings): "..so compete in good deeds" [al-Maaidah 5:48] "And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord." [Aal Imran 3:133] [Moosa peace be upon him said:] "..and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased." [Ta-Ha 20:84] And (you should hasten to fast these six days) because delaying may cause problems. This is the view of the Shaafa is and some of the Hanbalis, but it is OK if you do not hasten it and you delay it until the middle or end of the month. Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Our companions said: it is mustahabb to fast six days of Shawwaal. Because of this hadeeth they said: it is mustahabb to fast these days consecutively at the beginning of Shawwaal, but if one separates them or delays them until after Shawwaal, this is permissible, because he will still be following the general guidelines of the hadeeth. We have no dispute regarding this matter, and this was also the view of Ahmad and Dawood. Al-Majmoo Sharh al-Muhadhdhab Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid کیا شوال کے چھ روزے مسلسل رکھنے ضروری ہیں کیا شوال کے چھ روزوں میں تتابع شرط ہے یعنی وہ مسلسل رکھنے چاہییں یا یہ ممکن ہے کہ ان میں فرق بھی کیا جاسکتا ہے ، کیونکہ میں چاہتا ہوں کہ دو دو کرکے رکھوں کیونکہ ہفتہ کے آخر میں مجھے دو چھٹیاں ہوتی ہیں ؟ الحمد للہ اس میں تسلسل شرط نہیں لھذا اگر وہ ایک ایک یا پھر تسلسل کے ساتھ بھی رکھے تو اس میں کوئي حرج نہیں ، لیکن اس میں جتنی جلدی کرے اتنا ہی افضل اوربہتر ہوگا ۔ اللہ تعالی کا فرمان ہے : { خیر اوربھلائی میں سبقت کیا کرو } ۔ اورایک مقام پرکچھ اس طرح فرمایا : { اپنے رب کی مغفرت وبخشش کی طرف جلدی کرو} ۔ اورموسی علیہ السلام نے کہا : { اے رب میں نے تیری رضا کے لیے جلدی کی ہے } اوراس لیے بھی کہ تاخیر کرنے میں آفات اورمشاکل پیدا ہوسکتی ہیں ، شوافع اوربعض حنابلہ کا مسلک یہی ہے ۔ لیکن اگر روزہ رکھنے میں جلدی نہ بھی کی جائے بلکہ پورے مہینہ میں چھ روزے رکھنے میں کوئي حرج والی بات نہیں ۔ امام نووی رحمہ اللہ تعالی کہتے ہیں : ہمارے اصحاب کا کہنا ہے : اس حدیث کی بنا پرشوال کے چھ روزے رکھنے مستحب ہیں ، ان کا کہنا ہے کہ : شوال کے چھ روزے شروع میں ہی مسلسل رکھنے مستحب ہیں لیکن اگر اس میں تسلسل نہ بھی رکھا جائے اورآخرشوال تک مؤخر کردیۓ جائيں تو یہ بھی جائز ہے ۔ ایسا کرنے سے وہ اس سنت پر عمل پیرا ہوگا ، اوراس حدیث کے عموم اوراطلاق پر عمل ہوجائے گا ، اس میں کوئي اخلاف نہیں ، امام احمد اورداود رحمہم اللہ تعالی کا یہی کہنا ہے ۔ دیکھیں المجموع شرح المھذب ۔ واللہ اعلم . الشیخ محمد صالح المنجد Source: islamqa.com Share this POST with maximum number of people you can.
