Combining Intentions for Fasting the Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah

Question
Is it permissible to fast in Dhul-Hijjah with two intentions; such that I intend to fast as expiation for an oath for 3 days and also with the intention of voluntary fasting for Dhul-Hijjah?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to share the intention; rather, the intention should be for one action, whether it is an expiation or a voluntary act. And God knows best.
