Ustadh Sadiq explains the mathematical basis behind this reward, the position of the four madhabs including a nuanced breakdown of what Imam Malik actually said, and why Ibn Rajab considered these six days to be among the clearest signs that one's Ramadan has been accepted. The lesson then walks through the key fiqh scenarios in full: what happens if you missed days of Ramadan with or without excuse, whether the six days need to be fasted consecutively or can be dispersed, when the intention must be made, whether you can combine them with Monday and Thursday fasting, and whether you are allowed to break the fast mid-day. An essential post-Ramadan lesson for anyone who wants to understand this sunnah properly and act on it with knowledge.
