HUKUM MENGGABUNGKAN NIAT PUASA QADA’ DENGAN PUASA SUNAT
Is it permissible to combine the intention for a make-up fast with a voluntary fast such as Syawal?
Short answer
The Johor State Fatwa Committee states that the common Malaysian practice of fasting qada' and Syawal together has a basis in fiqh books, most of which mention only the qada' intention while the reward of the voluntary fast is also obtained.

Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee states that the common Malaysian practice of fasting qada' and Syawal together has a basis in fiqh books, most of which mention only the qada' intention while the reward of the voluntary fast is also obtained. For those who habitually perform voluntary fasts, it is best to complete qada' first and then fast the voluntary days, including in Zulkaedah if Syawal runs out. For those moderate in worship, three options are given: combine both intentions, intend qada' while praying for the Syawal reward, or fast Syawal first and resolve to make up the missed fasts before the next Ramadan.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Bagi mereka yang lazim berpuasa sunat,maka puasa qada' terlebih dahulu adalah terbaik buat mereka,kemudian setelah habis qada' barulah berpuasa sunat
