Can Shawwal Fasting be Combined with Missed Ramadan Fasts?

 


There are two rulings on having two intentions in Shawwal fasting. According to a number of scholars and jurists, you can have the double intention of making up for the lost days as well as seeking the extra rewards for observing the recommended Shawwal fasting.

However, this view is not shared by others; they are of the view that one should first make up for the missed fasts, then, if the month of Shawwal still remains, observe the recommended fasts.

Allah Almighty knows best.
