Ruling on changing the intention of fasting from voluntary to making up an obligatory fast

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q535: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on changing the intention of fasting from voluntary to making up an obligatory fast?
A535: This is not permissible, and one does not change a voluntary fast into an obligatory fast; because a voluntary fast is not changed into an obligatory one. On the contrary, it is the obligatory fast that is changed into a voluntary one. As for changing a voluntary fast into an obligatory one, this is not permissible and does not suffice.
