Peace be upon you. I have days to make up for, but I have not yet performed the expiation. Can I fast them before the expiation? I have fasted more than half of them without expiation, thinking I would do the expiation later.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
There is no obligation to prioritize between expiation and making up missed fasts; you can make up the fasts first and then perform the expiation, or vice versa.
May you be successful in all good.
