Question:
This questioner says: If a person enters into a voluntary prayer that he is not obligated to complete, and there is an obligatory prayer that he must perform, provided he does not convert it into a voluntary one. The question is: how is it? And it is not permissible, and it is not permissible to fast voluntary fasts before making up what he owes from the obligatory fasts.
Answer:
If he has an obligatory fast to make up, and if he has no missed fasts to make up, he may fast voluntarily; there is no conflict in that.

May Allah reward you.
