Summary
It is permissible to combine several intentions in one voluntary fast when the day coincides with other recommended fasting days, such as the six days of Shawwal, the White Days, Mondays and Thursdays. The view held by most later Shafii scholars is that a voluntary fast is valid with a general intention and the reward of those fasts is still obtained. Ibn Hajar al-Haitami requires the specific intentions to be stated in order to gain complete and multiplied reward.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Diharuskan untuk menggabungkan beberapa niat dalam satu puasa sunat, terutama jika perlaksanaan puasa itu berbetulan dengan hari-hari yang digalakkan puasa, seperti puasa enam syawal, hari-hari putih, isnin dan khamis.
