Question:
This is a question about a man who has missed fasts from Ramadan to make up. Can he intend them together with the six days of Shawwal? That is, does he fast six days with the intention that they are the six days of Shawwal and also make-up fasts?
Answer:
No, that is not permissible. He should fast with the intention of making up the missed fasts only. Once he has finished the make-up fasts, if there are still days remaining in Shawwal, he should fast the six days. If Shawwal has ended, then the recommended practice is missed, but the make-up fasts are necessary because they are obligatory. As for the six days, they are a recommended practice. Performing the obligatory act takes precedence over performing the recommended practice.
