Summary
Combining the intention of a Ramadan make-up fast with the voluntary Syawwal fast is permissible, and Shafi'i jurists agree that a person who intends both obtains the reward of both. If only one is intended, scholars differ on the reward received, and the article encourages intending both for a complete reward. It is nevertheless better to fast the make-up days and the Syawwal days separately, since more deeds bring more reward. For those who missed fasts due to a valid excuse, hastening the make-up is commendable and encouraged.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menggabungkan niat puasa qada Ramadhan dengan puasa sunat enam hari dalam bulan Syawwal adalah harus.
