Is it permissible to make up the fast of the Day of Ashura?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man did not fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram. Is it permissible for him to fast on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth of Muharram, or not?

Answer:
No, that does not make up for Ashura. If he wants to fast three days of the month in accordance with the Sunnah, there is nothing wrong with it. But if he intends that it suffices for Ashura, then no, it does not suffice for Ashura, because its time has passed.
