ANSWER:

Make up the missed fasts first and fast the 6 days of Shawwal from the beginning. 

I have to make up 7 fasts of ramadan but i started with shawwal fastings first fearing that month would end.Now i have 4 shawwal fastings left and 7 ramadan fastings. I heard Ramadan fasting must be made up first.So should i fast 7 missed fasts first and then complete 4 left shawwal fasts?please advise.Does my early shawwal fasts count?

1. To complete the 6 fasts of the month of shawaal, does one need to first complete their missed fasts of Ramadan or can we compensate them later? 2. Can I keep the 6 fasts of Shawwal and make an intention of both Shawwal fasts and the fasts I wasn’t able to keep due to my periods?

I’ve read that if a woman is sure that her menstruation is over before sunrise, and she intends to fast, her fast will be valid even if she delays ghusl until morning. But what if she isn’t able to do ghusl even in the morning or throughout the day because of an illness e.g. high fever? Is her fast valid? What about the prayers throughout the day?
