Authenticity of the Hadith on the six fasts of Shawwal
Question
Is it true the Hadith regarding six days of Shawwal fasting has a weak narrator and some of the ‘Ulama said fasting six days of Shawwal is makruh?
Can we observe the six fasts of Shawwal later in the year?
Question
I am aware that the Hadith says if one fasts in Ramadan and 6 more in Shawwal, one receives the reward of fasting the entire year as 36 fasts will be multiplied by Allah Ta’ala 10 fold which then equals 360.
My question is: that Allah Ta’ala has promised (in Surah: Al-An’am, Ayah: 160) to multiply the rewards of all deeds by at least ten.
This is general and so it applies throughout the year. Hence if someone observes six more fasts in any other month besides Shawwal, he should be attaining the reward of those additional sixty days too. So why does the Hadith specify the month of Shawwal for these additional fasts?
