Fasting the six days of Shawwal before making up missed days of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it valid to fast the six days of Shawwal before making up the missed days of Ramadan?

Answer:
This hadith indicates that it is not valid, due to his saying:
Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it with six days of Shawwalمَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 13:437
The one who has missed days to make up should fast Ramadan first, then make up what he owes, and then fast the six days.
