🔺We have posted three views concerning fasting of Shawwāl:
(a) That one should make up the missed fasts first, before fasting the Six of Shawwāl (islamqa.info fatāwah, Ustadh Haytham's post (this view is no longer held by him), Shaykh Abdullah As-Sa'd's post)
(b) That it is permissible to observe the voluntary fasts first, rather than the obligatory ones(the fast which one needs to make up) [explanation posted by Galandhaanu regarding the view of Jumhūr]
(c): "The best that can be said about the narrations is that the strongest chains affirm fasting the six days of Shawwāl to be the words of Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī and not the words of the Prophet (ﷺ)."
"The reward for fasting 6 (or more) days in Shawwal also applies outside of Shawwal." (Based on verse 6:160 which is unrestricted)
"Furthermore, we will find some of the earlier scholars indicating they were not aware of six days being fasting in Shawwāl, including al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī from the Tābi’īn, and Ma’mar ibn Rāshid and Mālik ibn Anas from Atbā’-it-Tābi’īn.
In fact, Imām Mālik said that he did not see anyone from the people of knowledge and fiqh fast it. And he said, “The people of knowledge disliked that, and they feared its innovation.”
So, if a person is not able to fast six days in Shawwāl but can fast outside of it, or they are accustomed to fasting other days regularly throughout they year, then Allāh willing, they will have the same reward written for them. Allah knows best."

All of the ahādīth of congratulating for Ramaḍān are all weak: Nothing is
authentic concerning it
❌ 5. “There has come to you Ramaḍān, a blessed month, the fasting of which Allāh has obligated upon you. In it, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained up.
In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.”
[ ☑️ The confirmed report: “When the month of Ramadan begins, the gates of mercy are opened, the gates of Jahannam are closed and the devils are chained up.”]
❌ 6. On the last day of Shaˋbān, the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وسلم addressed us and said: “O people! A great month is coming to you. A blessed month. In it, there is a night that is better than a thousand months. Allāh Has obligated its fasting and made it voluntary to pray its nights. Whoever draws nearer to Allāh by performing any of the voluntary good deeds in this month shall receive the same reward as there is for performing an obligatory deed at any other time. And whoever performs an obligatory deed in it shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. And it is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise. And it is the month of equality. And it is a month in which a believer’s provisions are increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, it will be like he freed a slave and he will have his sins forgiven.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allāh, not all of us possess the means whereupon we can give a fasting person [provisions] to break his fast.” He said: “Allāh gives the same reward to the one who gives a fasting person [provisions] to break the fast, a sip of milk, a date, or a drink of water. And whoever feeds a person who was fasting until he is full, it will be a cause for his sins to be forgiven, and Allāh will give him a drink from my Ḥawḍ [cistern], after which he will not be thirsty until he enters Paradise. And he will have the same reward as him [i.e. the fasting person] without his reward being diminished at all. And it is a month; the beginning of which is mercy, the middle of which is forgiveness and the end of which is emancipation from the Fire. And whoever lessens the burden of his bondsmen in it [i.e. this month], Allāh will free him from the Fire.”
❌ 7. “Count the (the appearance of)the crescent of Sha’ban for Ramaḍān.”
[☑️ The confirmed report: “Do not precede the month of Ramaḍān by a day nor by two days.”]
