After Ramadan, Try to keep the 6 Fasts of Shawwaal. (4/4)
Question
Does one have to fast the six days of Shawwal every year if one did it on one year?
Answer
Observing the six days of Shawwal after the day of ‘Eid is not obligatory on the person who does this once or more often, to continue doing it forever. He is not guilty of a sin if he skipped a year or a few in between. However, we should try to upkeep all our good deeds as Allah Ta’ala loves constancy in good deeds.
And Allah Ta’ala is our Source of strength. May Allah Ta’ala grant us all the ability of increasing in our good deeds and being steadfast on them – Ameen.

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.
