Manners of Hospitality

Book Name:Manners of Hospitality

2. “Whoever kept the fasts of Ramadan and then followed them with six fasts in Shawwal, it is as if he fasted for his entire life.”[1]

Mufti Muhammad Khalīl Khān Barakātī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:

There is no harm if these fasts are kept one after another (consecutively) after Eid. However, it is better to keep two fasts every week and one fast on the second day of Eid. Keeping them throughout the entire month seems even more suitable.”[2]
