Question

When should a Muslim start fasting six days of Shawwal?

Answer

One can start fasting the six days of Shawwal from the second day of Shawwal, because it is haraam (forbidden) to fast on the day of ‘Eid. You can fast the six days at any time during Shawwal, although the best of good deeds are those which are done soonest.

Ask Jamiat KZN

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
