AL QURAN

O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), who has created you As well as those before you; Do so that you are saved. It is He Who has made the earth A resting-place for you, And the sky a canopy, And sent down water from above With which He brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, set up rivals to Allah When you know (the truth). (The Qura'n 2:21-22)

AL_HADITH

Narrated Sahl: The Prophet said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it."

Topic: Fasting

Is it permissible to break up the six days of fast for Shawwal?  Two days this week and two days next week etc.

I was told that it is forbidden for a woman to use her husband's last name. Is that true?

Dear sister

Yes, it is permissible to break up six Shawwal fasts.

It is not our Islamic tradition that a wife takes her husband's last name. Allah commands us to call everyone with his father's name.
