Fasting

Tonight i wanna talk about Fasting in the month of Syawal & the replacement of fasting for Ramadhan... How many of you know about this topic?....

As you know fasting in the Ramadhan is compulsory... But Fasting in Syawal is voluntary... 

Fasting teaches us on a spiritual discipline.... How to control of appetite... How to control inner self...

Okay... but know i wanna talk about the can or can not merger between fasting in Syawal and replacement of  fasting for Ramadhan...

Do you know about this? 

A lot of people dont really know and a bit confuse about this topic....

So, what do you think? how it's?? can merger or not??

If can't merger... which one should we do first???

The answer is replacement of fasting for Ramadhan... because it compulsory.... It based on Riwayat Al Bukhari No. 6021... 

But in practical fasting in Syawal should be done first because of the limit of time... Only have 30 days to finish fasting... compare to the replacement of fasting for Ramandhan... have whole year to replace it....

But.... we are encourage to replace first because if something happen such as we die... before we replace it... it's mean we owe worship to Allah...

In different opinion... Repalcement of fasting for Ramadhan and fasting in Syawal should done separately based on the physical and mental health... 

It's because both fasting have difference "Niat"(meaning)... 

Niat / Meaning of replacement is more accuracy and definite.... If we combine both of the fasting may be it will effect the niat of replacement of fasting for Ramadhan... 

But in Mazhab Shafie are allow to combine both of the fasting...

I hope it can help you...
