The question

Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwal with the intention of making up for missed Ramadan fasts and fasting the six white days simultaneously? And what should one do if they missed some days of Tarawih prayer due to a legitimate reason, and they considered it part of their complete recitation of the Quran?

The answer

Most scholars are of the opinion that it is not permissible to combine the intention of making up for missed Ramadan fasts with the fasting of six days of Shawwal.

As for the Tarawih prayers that were missed due to a valid excuse, we hope that the Muslim will attain their reward through a sincere intention, and there is no need to make them up, because they are not obligatory.

And night prayer is encouraged throughout all nights of the year, and it does not end with Ramadan.
