سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَيَّامٌ أَ يَتَطَوَّعُ فَقَالَ لَا حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who owes several days of Qada’ (compensatory fast) for the fast of the month of Ramadan if he can fast optional fast. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he cannot do so before completing Qada’ (compensatory fast) of what is due upon him of the month of Ramadan.’”
