Now my sisters the question is what should I do first?

0:07.5

Should I do my leftover fasts or should I do the shawal fasts?

0:11.3

There are several opinions of the scholars. It is preferred obviously some say you should do your qada first because that's far out

0:18.3

It's compulsory and then you can do your shawal later and some say that for as long as you've done the six fasts of shawal

0:24.8

you have a leeway to do your qada for several months. It doesn't your qada doesn't have to be in the month of shawal

0:33.1

So if you connect those opinions together

0:36.1

I think you should try to do your

1:18.2

It would be more appropriate to say exactly what I've said now the people who say it's compulsory to do your qada first

1:25.6

They base it on the fact that but qada is farad

1:29.3

But then again qada you've been given a leeway to do it up to perhaps even the next Ramadan in some cases

1:35.9

But at your earliest convenience may Allah make it easy for us. So this is why I'd say

1:42.2

My sisters don't despair. Don't be saddened

1:45.2

Allah make it easy for every one of us in Granta's goodness

1:48.4

And it's something that really needed needs to be addressed and here I have addressed it
