1. The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: The one who kept the Siyam of Ramadan, then kept 6 Siyam in Shawwal, he gets free from sins as if he was given birth by his mother today. (Majma’-uz-Zawaid, vol. 3, pp. 425, Hadees 5102)

2. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: The one who kept the Siyam of Ramadan and then kept 6 [Siyam] in Shawwal, it is as if he observed Sawm for [his] entire life. (Muslim, pp. 592, Hadees 2758)

3. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: The one who kept 6 Siyam (in Shawwal) after ‘Eid-ul-Fitr kept Siyam for the whole year; as the one who will bring one virtuous deed will get ten (in return). (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 2, pp. 333, Hadees 1715)

Khaleel-e-Millat, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Khaleel Khan Qadiri Barakati رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: There is no harm even if these Siyam are kept consecutively straight after the ‘Eid. The better approach for one seems for him to keep 2 Siyam per week and keep one Sawm the next day after ‘Eid-ul-Fitr. Furthermore, it sounds even more suitable if one keeps these Siyam over the entire month. (Sunni Bihishti Zaywar, pp. 347; summarised)

In short, 6 Siyam of this month can be kept whenever one wants throughout the month, except for the ‘Eid day.
