IRSYAD HUKUM KE-43: HUKUM QADHA’ PUASA RAMADAN BERSEKALI DENGAN PUASA 6 SYAWAL
Is it permissible to combine the makeup of missed Ramadan fasts with the six fasts of Shawwal?
Short answer
Scholars differ on this matter. One view holds that the fast is valid and both the makeup and the voluntary fast are achieved, while another view holds that only the makeup fast is achieved because two acts of worship cannot be combined in one.

Summary
Scholars differ on this matter. One view holds that the fast is valid and both the makeup and the voluntary fast are achieved, while another view holds that only the makeup fast is achieved because two acts of worship cannot be combined in one. The Mufti of the Federal Territories leans towards the view that permits it, but notes that fasting them separately is a way to avoid the disagreement. Ibn Hajar notes that the basic reward is attained but not in its complete form if both are intended.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setelah meneliti dua hujah, kami lebih cenderung kepada pendapat yang membolehkannya. Ini kerana ia merupakan jenis ibadah yang sama tetapi dengan dua niat.
