Intention for Shawwal Fasting

Six days in Shawwal after Eid al-Fitr

نَوَيْتُ صَوْمَ غَدٍ عَنْ أَدَاءِ سُنَّةِ الشَّوَّالِ لِلّٰهِ تَعَالَى

Nawaitu shauma ghadin 'an adaa-i sunnatisy-syawwaali lillaahi ta'aalaa

I intend to keep the recommended Shawwal fast tomorrow, for Allah the Exalted.

When & how

Six days in Shawwal (after Eid al-Fitr). The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever fasts Ramadan then follows it with six days of Shawwal, it is as if they fasted the whole year (Muslim).

Text follows the commonly taught wording (Shafi'i). Under teacher review.
