The Permissibility of Preferring the Fasting of Shawwal over the Qada (Makeup Fasting)
Is it permissible to prefer the fasting of six days of Shawwal over the makeup fasting due to breaking the fast 'without a valid excuse' and not for an excuse?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to offer the fasting of six days of Shawwal, but she must make up for what she intentionally broke her fast, and perform a expiation, which is fasting for two consecutive months, and God knows best.
