When should the six fasts of Shawwal begin?

Question

What is the ruling on the six fasts of shawwal? should they be observed from the second day of Eid or after three days of Eid ul fitr?

Answer

It is prohibited to fast only on the first day of Eid i.e first shawwal. you may observe the six days of fasting from the second day of shawwal. It is not necessary to wait for the first three days of Eid to pass. Even so, you may fast the six days at any time during shawwal and it is mustahab (preferred) to complete these six fasts before the end of the month.

Allah knows the best
