📜 Question: If Monday falls on one of the white days (13th, 14th and 15th of the month) or one intends to fast to make up for the missed obligatory fasts, is it permissible for me to intend to fast the Sunnah fasting on Mondays, combined with fasting on the three white days, or the fasting of compensation, or to combine all three together?
📝 Answer: If the fasting is an obligatory one (fasting to compensate for any of the missed obligatory fasts in Ramadan), then it is necessary to have only one intention, to perform it as an obligatory fast. As for voluntary/Sunnah fasts, then Alhamdulillah, you can combine the intention of fasting Sunnah fasts if Monday falls on one of the three white days. As for the obligatory fast (fasting in Ramadan), it is a must to have only niyyah/intention (you cannot combine the intention of obligatory deeds with voluntary actions), whether you fast on a Monday or any other day.
If the Muslim has some obligatory fasts which they couldn't fast in the previous Ramadan (due to monthly period, pregnancy, or an illness), they must strive to complete their fasting before they fast a voluntary/Sunnah fast (without combining their intention to fast the obligatory fast with another niyyah for Sunnah fasting).
Performing the obligatory deeds take precedence over the voluntary ones.
[Note: You can Inn-sha-Allah earn additional rewards if you intend to fast Sha'baan Sunnah fasting with another niyyah to fast on a Thursday or Monday following the Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam. If some of your obligatory fasts are lacking, focus on completing them before fasting the first days of Sha'baan and before Ramadan returns.
Allah the Almighty knows best.]

📖 Umar Ibn Al-Khattab RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, deeds are only with intentions. Verily, every person will have only what they intended. Whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam). Whoever emigrated to get something in the world or to marry a woman, his emigration is for that to which he emigrated."
