This year's Ramadhan ended last week Saturday, which basically means that the month of Sha'waal commenced on Sunday. The prophet (SAW) recommended fasting an additional voluntary six days in Sha'waal as its reward is equivalent to that of fasting for a whole year.
Alhamdulilah, I started mine on Monday and by sunset today In Sha Allah, it'll make five days of fasting. I have no intention of breaking any day(s) in between the six days.

Have you started yours or do you have the intention to observe it?
Are you observing it consecutively or breaking in between?

May Allah forgive us of our sins and guide us aright.

Jum'ah Mubarak to all Muslims and happy Friday to everyone.

Alhamdulilah! May He compensate us all with abundance of rewards.

PS: Happy birthday @Bimpe29. I wish you more of it in the best of conditions.

NaMeAboki:


Alhamdullilah, I started mine on Sunday and finishing today Insha Allah.

Is it right to start on Sallah day ( because we observed sallah on Sunday).

I am rounding up on Sunday...

aitanofi:
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah. Allah is making it easier for me this year. May He accept it as an act of ibaadah

Act of Oshogbo nko?

malikombi:
You're not supposed to start fasting Shawwal until Tuesday. The day of eid and the following day are usually not recommended for fasting.

I thought it's only on 1 of Shawwal alone

Wallahu Ahlam.

May Allah bless you for this response

Aamin and you too.

Abdulmalik052:

May Allah bless you for this response

You are wrong to have started on Monday! Eid celebration is 3 days! Fasting is forbidden on Eid days! So you should have started on Wednesday and not Monday!

Mine is 2 today

NaMeAboki:


Alhamdullilah, I started mine on Sunday and finishing today Insha Allah.

I hope this is a joke! Fasting on Eid days is forbidden!

U are right. I was wrong brother. May Allah accept our worship. Ameen

In Sha Allah, I'll finish mine on Sunday.

Mine will be 3 today insha Allah

There is a difference. Keep lying to yourself.

gentleguy1975:
I have heard this several times and marvel at how ignorant people can be! I have tried fasting without waking up to eat early in the morning and felt no difference.please let's be guided.

dominique:


You fasted on 1st Shawwal on the day of Eid? Is that allowed?

are you really a Muslim?
Answer me cos I got some questions for u

Amberon:

I always knew this lady is a muslim.
No wonder. I'm not surprised.

dominique:

My bad; did not fast on Eid day (am aware it is forbidden) but started the following day after Eid (i.e. on Monday) - basic miscalculation on my part.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Insha Allah, i will be finishing mine on Sunday... First time ever in my life

sleemoon:
Me dat ll jst start mine on Monday... wifey no gree mk i start a day after Eid...she said she wan mk i chop up small b4 i start my shawwal

Sleemoon baba... Alhamdulilah for your life... You can see that is good to be married.. May Allah provide for other single brothers before next Ramadan.

Olataogreat:

I thought it's only on 1 of Shawwal alone

And the second day too

Sultty:
Wait Muslims fast additional six days

YES

Oga oooo...so we have a lot of muftis on nairaland....don't just give fatwa that people are wrong to start their fasting on day 2 of shawaal...
we can't fast on d day of eid (no argument about this)...but saying we must wait for 3 days before d commencement of situ shawaal is.......

Offpoint:

If no difference then why eat in the first place?

Muslims have guidelines on all their worships, same way we are encouraged to fast additional six fastings is the same way we are asked to wake up to eat early morning, it is part of our worship.And it is not all about food, as we also do some prayers and nafilats

mfm04622:

This is wrong as regard to Eid of Ramadhaan, it is the Eid of Ileya that has such evidence. The day of Eidul Fitri is the only day of celebration.
Wallahu a'lam.

malikombi:
You're not supposed to start fasting Shawwal until Tuesday. The day of eid and the following day are usually not recommended for fasting.

This needs a piece of evidence to make it acceptable in the religion. What is known to be correct is that Eidul Fitri is celebrated just for a day which makes the end of Ramadhaan. He alone knows best!
