Fasting the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah with the intention of making up missed fasts
Is it permissible to fast the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah with the intention of making up missed fasts, except for the Day of Arafah, which I intend to fast with the intention of Arafah and not with the intention of making up missed fasts?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: it is not correct to combine the two intentions, and it is fulfilled by the stronger of the two fasts, which is the making up (of missed fasts), and God knows best.
