With much lesser reciprocal visits and open houses to attend this year, it is more convenient to perform the Six Days sunnat or preferable fasting in Syawal. The Syawal fasting is best performed continuously starting from the second day of Hari Raya. It can also be performed on alternate days or any other way as long it is six days in Syawal.
