Summary
A person who missed fasting in Ramadan due to a valid excuse, or did not fast at all because of illness and paid fidyah, and then fasts six days of Shawwal, is considered to receive the reward of fasting a year mentioned in the hadith. This follows the explanations of Ibn Hajar al-Haitami and Sulayman al-Jamal. The reward is not obtained by someone who did not fast or deliberately broke the fast in Ramadan without any excuse.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, seseorang yang tidak berpuasa penuh ketika Ramadan kerana keuzuran, atau langsung tidak berpuasa kerana sakit, lalu dia membayar fidyah dan dia menunaikan puasa enam hari pada Syawal, dikira mendapat pahala puasa setahun yang disebut dalam hadis.
