Keep Qadhaa fasts instead of Nafl fasts
Question
Am I permitted to keep my Qadhaa fasts on the 13th, 14th and 15th of Shabaan?
Answer
The 3 fasts of Shabaan (which is the 13th, 14th and 15th) are Mustahab fasts. Your Qadhaa fasts enjoy superiority over Nafl fasts, since the Qadhaa fasts are in place of the missed Fardh fasts. You should, therefore, keep your Qadhaa fasts during the three days of Shabaan.
