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

Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee states that the common Malaysian practice of qada' and Syawal fasting has a basis in fiqh books, most of which mention only the qada' intention while the voluntary reward is also obtained. For those who habitually fast voluntarily, qada' fasts come first, followed by voluntary fasts, and the Syawal fasts may be completed in Zulkaedah if time runs out. For those moderate in fasting, three views are given: combining the qada' and voluntary intentions, intending qada' while praying for the Syawal reward, or fasting Syawal first and resolving 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 qadha' terlebih dahulu adalah terbaik buat mereka, kemudian setelah habis qadha' barulah berpuasa sunat
