		Shawwal is the tenth month in the lunar calendar, as mentioned earlier.
		If you observe it continuously, you may start on the fourth day and end on the ninth of day Shawwal, or you may select days at random, provided you complete six days before the end of Shawwal.
		It follows, then, that one Ramadan is equivalent to ten months of fasting, and the clincher, six days, is equal to two months, (6x10=60).

		One group states that the six optional fasts should start on the second day of Shawwal, the day after Eid al-Fitr, and the second group states that there is flexibility and one can fast the six before the expiry of the month of Shawwal.
		Since there is no text explicitly stipulating that the fasts must be done consecutively after Eid al-Fitr, it is an interpretation on the part of those who insist the fasts must be consecutive.
		This is one of the areas where differences of opinion are a sign of mercy and indicate latitude within Shari’ah laws.

		If a woman wishes to fast 6 days in the month of Shawwal, as recommended by the Prophet, peace be upon him, should she first complete her Ramadhan fasting” If so, this means that she should fast 12 days in this month, which may not be very convenient.
		The first fasting a woman does after Ramadhan should be the compensatory fast in lieu of the days she did not fast in Ramadhan because of her periods.
		The Prophet, peace be upon him, does not say that these six days should be “in Shawwal,” rather he says: “from Shawwal”, which indicates a time range beginning with that month.
