This should help :ia:
[emoji780]Can I observe a voluntary fast when I still owe days from Ramadaan?
[emoji780]If I fast the days of dhul hijah with intention of keeping my fard fasts, will I have the reward for sunnah too?
[emoji422] With regard to obligatory and voluntary fasts, what is prescribed in sharee’ah and what makes sense is to start with the obligatory fasts and then do the naafil ones, because the obligatory fast is a debt which must be paid, whereas the naafil fast is voluntary and is to be done if one can manage it, otherwise there is no sin on one.
[emoji654] Based on this, as for those who owe a missed Ramadaan fast, make up what you owe before you observe a voluntary fast.
[emoji666] If he observes a voluntary fast before making up what he owes, then the correct view is that his voluntary fast is valid so long as there is still enough time to make up the missed fasts, because a person may make up missed Ramadaan fasts so long as there is still enough time for him to do so before the next Ramadaan comes. So long as there is still plenty of time, it is permissible for him to observe voluntary fasts.
[emoji651] This is similar to the case of obligatory prayers, such as if a person offers a naafil prayer before an obligatory prayer when there is still plenty of time, this is permissible.
[emoji736] Whoever fasts on the day of ‘Arafah or ‘Ashoora’, and still owes some days from Ramadaan, his fast is valid. But if he has the intention of fasting this day to make up for a missed Ramadaan fast, he will have two rewards – one for the day of ‘Arafah or ‘Ashoora’ and another for making up the missed fast.
[emoji779]This applies to all voluntary fasts that are not connected to Ramadaan. With regard to fasting the six days of Shawwaal, these are connected to Ramadaan and can only be done after making up missed Ramadaan fasts.
Majmoo’ Fataawa Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 20/438.
[emoji419] Based on this, it is permissible for you to fast the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah as a naafil fast, but it is better for you to fast them with the intention of making up what you owe of Ramadaan, and you will have two rewards in sha Allaah.
And Allah knows best.
