Question:
Does while fasting on 9th &10th or 10th &11th of Muharram, we can also have the intention of missed fast of ramadan?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum Wa-Rahmatullāhi Wa-Barakātuh.
If one wishes to fulfil a missed fast of Ramadhan, his primary intention must be to make up the missed fast. It is then hoped that he will also gain the reward for fasting on 10th Muharram.[1]
Nonetheless, it is still preferable to fulfil the missed fasts of Ramadhan and the fast of Aashuraa’ separately in order to definitely attain the full reward.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best.
