Making Up Fasts on Days When Fasting is Recommended
She says she makes up her Ramadan fasts on the white days or during the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. Does she receive a multiplied reward since fasting is recommended on these days, and is it better to fast them as a voluntary act and postpone the make-up fasts to a later time?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The original state is that it is like others in the obligatory fasting, and the virtue of these days over others is in the voluntary fasting. Attaining its virtue as a voluntary act and fasting in Ramadan is undoubtedly better than others, and God knows best.
