Summary
A person who broke the Ramadan fast without a valid excuse must hasten to make it up and may not put the six Shawwal fasts first. A person who missed it with a valid excuse may do the six fasts first, since the time for making up is broad. Scholars of the Shafii school differ on combining intentions; some hold the make-up fast is valid and the reward of the Shawwal fast is also gained, though the complete reward comes only with a dedicated intention for the six days.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Seseorang itu tidak boleh mendahulukan puasa sunat enam pada bulan Syawal kemudian diekori dengan puasa qadha.
