Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person fasts the six days of Shawwal and combines with them the intention of fasting the white days, or Mondays and Thursdays, is his action prescribed?
Answer:
The six days of Shawwal are not the white days. If he fasts the six days of Shawwal, he intends them as the six days. If he fasts the white days, he intends them as the white days, and he does not mix this with that. Yes.
