The ruling on fasting the six days of Shawwal before making up the days of Ramadan owed by a woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman who has days of Ramadan to make up to fast the six days of Shawwal first, and then make up the days she missed from Ramadan later?

Answer:
The evidence is clear that she does not fast until she has completed Ramadan. She fasts the make-up days first, then she performs the six days, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
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
She follows it by fasting Ramadan. This is what she has not fasted from Ramadan up to now; she owes the make-up. She completes the make-up, then she fasts the six days of Shawwal. Yes.
