Summary
Joining an expiatory fast of two consecutive months across Sha'ban and Ramadan is not permitted. The reason given is that the meaning of two consecutive months does not include the month of Ramadan. Therefore, a kaffarah fast that runs into Ramadan is not counted as consecutive.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wisol kaffarah puasa dua bulan berturut-turut antara bulan Sya'ban dan Ramadan adalah tidak boleh.
