Is it permissible to fast 'Ashura and make up Ramadan with a single intention?

Question : She asks: Is it permissible regarding fasting for us to intend to fast 'Ashura and make up Ramadan, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer : I say: If a woman makes up a day of Ramadan on the day of 'Ashura with the intention of making it up, I hope that it will suffice for the fast of 'Ashura, just as if a person enters the mosque and prays the obligatory prayer, it suffices for the greeting of the mosque. However, it is better to make up the missed days on a day other than 'Ashura.
