Haitham al-Haddad – Shawwal – The Reward of an entire year of fasting

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

			Fasting 6 days of Shawwal is highly
		

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

			recommended. The prophet
		

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

			said, whoever fast the month of Ramadan
		

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

			followed by 6 days of Shawwal, it will
		

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

			be seen as if he fasted, what, the
		

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

			entire,
		

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

			okay, the entire
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

			year.
		

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

			And we have explained that,
		

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

			you will be fasting 30 days of Ramadan.
		

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

			You will be rewarded as if you fasted
		

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

			300 days. You will fast 6 more days
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

			of Shawwal. It will be seen as if
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

			you have fasted
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

			60 days, 30
		

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

			300 plus 60. So this is
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

			360
		

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

			days, and the lunar year or the,
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

			solar year is around
		

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

			360
		

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

			days. So that's why the prophet
		

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

			said, it will be seen as if you
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

			have fasted the entire
		

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

			year. Now my dear brothers and sisters,
		

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

			after Ramadan after Ramadan, if you have missed
		

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

			some days from Ramadan,
		

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

			yeah, make them up
		

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

			make them up.
		

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

			And then after that, fast
		

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

			the 6 days of Shawwal. Yeah?
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

			Some scholars said some scholars said that,
		

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

			fasting 6 days of Shawwal,
		

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

			the hadith means to start fasting
		

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

			in Shawwal.
		

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

			Yeah. To start fasting in Shawwal.
		

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

			So they said that even
		

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

			you will get the reward
		

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

			if you
		

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

			start fasting
		

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

			insha'wal,
		

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

			and then
		

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

			you fasted for the entire year.
