Fatwa on Making Up Ramadan Fasting with Shawwal

Question
I was fasting in Shawwal with the intention of Shawwal while making up for Ramadan. What is the ruling on that, and what should I do about making up for Ramadan?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible to combine the intention of making up Ramadan with Shawwal, and what you fasted is considered a make-up; because the intention of making up is stronger than the intention of voluntary fasting, and God knows best.
