Keeping the Shawwaal fasts before one's qadha fasts
Q: There is only one week remaining of Shawwaal, and I want to keep the six fasts of Shawwaal. However, I have 13 qadha fasts to keep. Should I keep the qadha fasts first and miss the six fasts of Shawwaal or can I keep the six fasts first and thereafter make up the qadha fasts?
