The Details of the Question
Can a person receive the thawab of nafilah fasting if he performs missed (qada) fasting on the first nine days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The same fasting cannot be regarded as both qada and nafilah fasting. It is not permissible to make intention for both of them. Qada fasting comes before nafilah fasting and the thawab of qada fasting is more than that of nafilah fasting. Therefore, those who have missed (qada) fasting should perform qada fasting instead of Dhul-Hijjah fasting.
There might be additional thawabs for performing qada fasting on the first nine days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah.
