shawwal

1. That is, they start fasting at the beginning of Rajab until the seventh of Shawwal, leaving nothing but the Day of `Eidul-Fitr.

也就是说，他们从伊历7月的第一天一直封到伊历十月的第七天，只在开斋节的时候开斋。

2. Also, according to Saudi Ummul-Qura calendar, Fiqh Council of North America, and European Council for Fatwa and Research, the first day of Shawwal is on Wednesday, October 1, 2008.

同样，沙特麦加历法，北美法学理事会，欧洲教法仲裁与研究委员会也都表示，伊历十月的第一天是2008年10月1日。

3. It is reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “ He who fasts the month of Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, will be rewarded as if fasting for the whole year.

因此，如果感觉还补所缺斋戒与副功斋分开封比较困难的话，允许他把两个斋戒合在一起完成。他同样也可以先还补缺失斋戒，之后封六天副功斋。

4. For Shawwal, on Sep. 19 there is a good chance ofmoonsighting in South Africa and South America. So, based on thatsighting, Eid is expected on Sunday, Sep. 20, Insha-Allah.

大意为：9月18日，任何地方都看不到新月。19日，南非和南美可以看到。开斋节预计在20日，托靠主！

6. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said: "Whosoever fasted in Ramadan and then followed up with six fasting days of Shawwal, it is like fasting every day.

虽然伊历十月的六天斋戒极高地被叮嘱，但这并不是义务。谁想要封斋，他可以在开斋节后，伊历十月封任意六天斋戒。这六天斋戒不必连续封。根据各人便利选择此月任何时间。
