			Salam aleikum, wa Rahmatullah. If you missed out on fasting, the six days of Chawan, you don't want
to miss out on this opportunity to make a law to make up the fast that you missed during Chawan
after Schwan Inshallah, and many of you might be surprised to hear this, is it permissible for us to
make up the fast if we missed it or not? And is there a difference between someone who hasn't had an
excuse for missing fasting six days in between the person who got a bit lazy, especially those who
may be fasted three or four days, and then got back into the everyday routine of life, and just
missed out on making those fasting those six days during the month of Chawan? So is it permissible
		
00:00:40 --> 00:01:16
			for him now to fast those days that he missed after Shabbat and still get the reward? There is a
difference of opinion between the scholars, is this permissible or not? And perhaps you could
summarize their views and to three different opinions. The first opinion is yes, you can fast these
days after show all if you miss them. And what's meant by the Hadith and whoever fast Ramadan and
then follows up with six days I'm sure well, what's meant by this, they said is because it's easier
to fast and short, so it's better to fast Inshallah, but if someone missed it, he can do it anytime
during the year. The second opinion is that whoever missed it during Chawan, that he makes it up the
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:51
			month after she wanted to do it. And he will get the reward, but it won't be the same reward, his
reward would be less but he'll get part of the reward, if he makes it up in their card. Inshallah.
The third opinion is that you only get the virtues you only get the reward if you fast these six
days insha Allah themselves as it's clear in the Hadith, and this is a sunnah fast. So if you miss
the time, then you miss the opportunity to get the reward. And they said, there's no difference
between the person who missed these days, he had a valid excuse or the one who didn't have a valid
excuse, meaning both of them do not make it up after Schwann if they missed the time, then they
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:30
			missed the opportunity for this fast however, Schekman bez Rahim, Allah Tala mentioned something
very important and that is that an individual who missed the fast for the other for a valid reason
that inshallah Tana, we hope that he will get the reward for the fast if he intended to fast. So for
example, if someone became ill, and he couldn't finish the fast, but his intention was to finish the
fast. Like we said, Someone fast it three or four days, and then he wasn't able to finish because he
became sick, or something urgent happened and someone had to travel when he couldn't faster and
traveling, so he didn't pass his fifth and sixth day or just the sixth day. This happens a lot. So
		
00:02:30 --> 00:03:06
			if a person did this in Shanell Tala, we hope that he will get the reward and this is taken from the
Hadith and salable Hadith, where the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam said, either several Abdu, O
Marieb that if the servant travels or become sick, that Allah subhana wa Tada will write for him the
Agile the reward of what he used to do when he was Sahai when he was healthy and and will theme when
he was a resident. Therefore, in Chautala, if you had an excuse in shallow title, you're going to
get the reward. What about the other category, the ones who got lazy, a lot of people, you know,
during shuwa, they want to get that reward, but then they become lazy. You get caught up in everyday
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:45
			life, you go, you come now to the office, and you see people drinking coffee, you say, Okay, I need
my coffee this morning. Let me let me have a cup of coffee and I'll do my fast tomorrow or the over
the weekend, and then you end up not doing it. Obviously with a third opinion, it's not permissible
to make it up. And to be honest with you, when you look at it from you know the textual evidence
from the Hadith. That hadith is clear, whoever follows up and six have showed, therefore this is the
opinion that that I follow and that I lean to. However, if someone were to know the opinion of the
other scholars that his intention is Yet Allah except for me, and in shallow Tyler, I will make sure
		
00:03:45 --> 00:04:20
			that I will not be lazy in the future. You have that strong intention where if you get the
opportunity again to finish on Milan, that you'll never miss the six days of Shabbat again, repent
to Allah subhanho wa Taala and in enough for a sin because there's sunnah but for your shortcomings
because it's something honestly, opportunity six days and you get the reward of fasting for an
entire year and who would miss out on an opportunity like that? So she Athan got you you come back
to Allah subhana wa Tada you fast these days with that intention, following the opinion of those
scholars inshallah Tada we hope that Allah will reward you for that but like we said lesson learned
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			that we don't miss out on it again Inshallah, in the future, Baraka Luffy come
