Question:
As-salaamu-alaikum,
I would like to find out if a sister misses fast in the month of Ramadan for valid reason, if when she is doin the make up fasts…should it be done before or after the 6 nafl fasts in the month of shawwal? Because there are some Muslim sisters that insist you only hav the month of shawwal to fast the 6 days and the entire year to fast the khaza. Howeva isn’t that khaza fast fard and hence it ought to be done 1st?
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
The Qaza should be done first. It is much more important than the nafl fast of Shawwaal.
And Allah knows best,
