To Intend Different Fasts Simultaneously
66. If I owe obligatory fasts due to both nadhr and qaḍā’ of Ramadan fast and it coincides with the anniversary birthday of the Holy Prophet SAW, for my fast to be valid is it necessary to intend only one of them?
A: If you owe several type of fast, e.g. qaḍā’/ kaffārah/nadhr, it is obligatory to specify the fast you want to observe. For a person who owes qaḍā’ of Ramadan fasts, his mustaḥabb fast is invalid.
