Question |
What do respected scholars of Islam and Muftis of Shari’ah say about the following issue? Our friends were discussing how to observe the Siyam of Shawwal. Please guide us whether we should observe them consecutively or separately. What is better? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
It is preferable
to observe the six Siyam(fasts) of Shawwal separately. However, if you wish,
you may also observe them consecutively but it is preferable to observe them
separately.(Durr-e-Mukhtar,
Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 3, pp. 485; summarized) |
