Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it permissible for a person to combine the fast of making up missed days from Ramadan with voluntary fasting, such as 'Ashura?
Answer:
No, no, he does not combine them. He intends the voluntary fast as voluntary, and he intends the obligatory fast as obligatory. His obligation is not discharged. If he fasted a voluntary fast and said, "This suffices for the obligatory fast," no, it does not suffice. Yes.
