Fasting in Shawwal

Fasting 6 days in Shawwal

  

Shaikh Uthaymeen may Allah have mercy on him, said about fasting the six days of Shawwal:

“The wisdom behind fasting the six days of Shawwal is the same as the wisdom regarding other optional acts which Allah has ordained for His Servants in order to make the obligatory actions complete.  So fasting the six days of Shawwal is like the supererogatory Sunnah prayers [ar-Raatibah] which are performed after the obligatory prayers in order to complete any deficiencies in them. And from Allah, the Most High’s, Wisdom is that He made Sunnah [prayers] for the obligatory ones in order to complete them and raise them [in rank], so fasting the six days of Shawwal has this great benefit.”
