(1) The statement: "Then follows it..." In Alamgiriyyah, it is said: "Fasting six days of Shawwal is disliked according to Abu Hanifah, whether done consecutively or separately. According to Abu Yusuf, it is disliked if done consecutively but not if done separately. However, most later scholars saw no issue with it." This is mentioned in Bahr al-Raiq. The correct view is that there is no harm in it. This is mentioned in Muhit al-Sarakhsi.

(۱) قوله: ثم أتبعه إلخ: وفي العالمكيرية» ويكره صوم ستة من شوال عند أبي حنيفة ، متفرقا كان أو متتابعا، وعن أبي يوسف كراهته متتابعا لا متفرقا، لكن عامة المتأخرين لم يروا به بأسا، هكذا في البحر الرائق»، والأصح إنه لا بأس به. كذا في محيط السرخسي».

ف: واضح ہو کہ ستہ شوال رمضان سے متصل متواتر رکھ سکتے ہیں، یا پورے مہینہ میں متفرق چھ روزے رکھ سکتے ہیں۔12
