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

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman has about fifteen days of Ramadan to make up, and it is difficult for her to make them up, then fast the six days of Shawwal. Her question is: Is it permissible to fast the six days first, and make up the missed fasts later, for example in the winter?

Answer:
By Allah, if she wants the reward and to follow the example, she makes up the missed fasts first. If six days of Shawwal remain for fasting, or if nothing remains, praise be to Allah, making up the fasts is more obligatory. Yes.
