Fasting six days of Shawwal after the obligatory fast of Ramadhan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not wajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a sahih hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever fasts Ramadhan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime. [Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nisai and Ibn Majah] Are you ready to spend 6 more days and get the blessing of the complete year? :D
