As salamu alaykum A few years ago I was told that with a dual niyyah I could make up for a day missed in Ramadan and fast one of the six days of Shawwal. I was never able to find anything in writing. By any chance does anyone have any proof that this opinion is valid? Jazakum Allah Khair As salamu alaykum Marcie |

Salam, I tried but I can't seem to find anything either.. ^_^;; I know however that there are differences of opinion about the dual intention not only for fasting but for other things...like ghusl for example. Some hold that the dual intention is valid others say it is not.. I do not who is right ..but I personally keep my missed Ramadan days and the voluntary Shawwal days seperate..just in case..since I have no trouble fasting alhamudillah I feel I really don't need to merge them. salam, merimda |

Assalamu alaikum, A friend of mine was just reading about this, I didn't see the title of the book she was reading but I assumed it was Fiqh-us-Sunnah. It said that you get the reward for fasting the 6 days of Shawwal even if they're days you're fasting to make up missed days from Ramadan. What an amazing deal we get!!! :) |

Assalaam alaikum, This quote from islam-qa.com may clear up some confusion about fasting in Shawwaal. I have not heard before of combining the intention, but have heard those that let you fast the six of Shawwaal before making up any missed days of Ramadhan. This scholar sticks to the school of thought that requires making up any missed days before fasting the six days of Shawwaal. 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. |
