HUKUM MENGGABUNGKAN PUASA SUNAT SYAWAL DENGAN PUASA QADA` RAMADAN
May the voluntary Syawal fast be combined with the Ramadan make-up fast?
Short answer
The Johor State Fatwa Committee states that the common Malaysian practice of fasting qada and Syawal together has a basis in fiqh texts, as most books 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 texts, as most books mention only the qada intention while the reward of the voluntary fast is also obtained. For those who habitually fast voluntarily, it is suggested to complete the qada first, and the Syawal fast may then be completed in Zulkaedah if time in Syawal runs out. For those moderate in fasting, three options are given: combining the qada and voluntary intentions, intending qada while praying for the Syawal reward, or fasting Syawal first with a resolve to make up the qada 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
