Can the 6 fasts of Shawwal and the qada fasts of a woman be done at the same time? In other words, can she make two intentions in one fast?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
One cannot make intention of fard and nafl fast at the same time. Also note that the reward mentioned in the hadith for fasting 6 days of Shawwal is for nafl fast, not qada fast.
