Zul Hijjah

Keep qadha fast of Ramadaan during the first nine days of Zul Hijjah

Q: I missed 10 fasts during Ramadan due to illness. I am recovered now and wish to complete my missed fasts. I planned to keep the 10 during the first days of Zil Hijjah not expecting any additional reward but just as a sense of fasting is more prevalent around me. 

Please advise if this is ok as our local imam in a talk says Fardh and Sunnah cannot be combined! Should I rather wait and fast after or continue in these days? If I do fast, my intention is of my qadha and will I be in sin for keeping these qadha in the auspicious days of Sunnah fasting?

Will one receive the reward of fasting in Zul Hijjah if he keeps qadha fast in the first 10 days of Zul Hijjah?

Q:

1. If a person has fasts pending for a vow that he has made without him having specified the date, can he fast these fasts of zul hijjah or should he keep those fasts first?

2. If he has to fast for his vow in these 10 days will he acquire the sawaab of the zul hijjah fasts? Also if a woman fasts ramadaan qadhas in these days does she get the sawaab of zul hijjah fasts?
