Six Fasts in the Month of Shawwal
It is commendable to keep six fasts in the month of Shawwal. The Holy Prophet has said:
“Whoever completes the fasts of Ramadhan then adds to them the fasts of six days in the month of Shawwal, it will carry the thawab of fasting for the whole year.” (Sahih Muslim)
