Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwal before making up missed fasts?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. A question over the phone, yes, may I ask the Shaykh?

Answer : What is the question? The sister says: What about those who fast the six days of Shawwal before making up missed fasts? And she asks: Is it permissible to fast the make-up fasts and the six days of Shawwal together?
As for the first group, those who fast the six days before making up missed fasts, they do not receive the reward of fasting the six days. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever fasts Ramadan then follows it with six days of Shawwalمن صام رمضان ثم أتبعه بست من شوال،
Sunan Ibn Majah 1716Sahih (Darussalam)
And the one who has missed fasts to make up did not fast Ramadan; he fasted only part of it. As for the second case, which I understood she wants to make the days of make-up fasts into make-up fasts and six days of Shawwal, this also does not result in the combination. So what is it?
Fast Ramadan completely, then fast the six days. As for the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), Aisha did not fast the six days. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is more knowledgeable than to fast the six days before making up missed fasts. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Thank you to the asking sister.
