Question

Can I fast 6 Shawwal before my qhada قضاء ?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to fast six fasts of Shawwal before making up for the missed fasts. However, it is better to prioritize an obligation (missed fasts) over a Sunnah (fasting six days in Shawwal).

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
