Whoever fasts the month of Ramadhan and then follows it by fasting six days during the month of Shawwal will be rewarded as if he had fasted the entire yearFasting Six Days of Shawwaal - (The ClearSunnah.Blog)
Hence, Muslims should seize this opportunity and fast these six days to get Allah’s reward."He should not do the voluntary fast whilst he has a day or days to make up from Ramadhaan. Rather, he should begin by making up that which he has (outstanding) from Ramadhaan, then do the voluntary fast.
When to Fast the Six Days of Shawwaal
Must the six days of Shawwal be fasted directly after Eid day?It is not necessary to observe this Sawm directly after `Eid-ul-Fitr.It is permissible to start observing it one or more days afterwards.The six days can be observed either consecutively or non-consecutively during the month of Shawwal, whichever is easier.This matter is open to choice, as this Sawm is Sunnah and not Faridah (obligatory act). May Allah grant us success.
For those who have asked me: It is allowed to fast either to make up days of Ramadhaan or to start the 6 days of Shawwaal starting tomorrow (Friday), as the only day when fasting is prohibited these days is the actual day of 'Eid al-Fitr alone. It is not a 3-day 'Eid to be clear.
