You can claim a draw if 50 moves have been made without progress
and it is your turn to move. If your next move ( your 51st ) is a mate I
would prefer to execute that move to making a draw request :-)

As a mate ends the game your opponent cannot claim a draw by the 50
moves rule *after* your mating move.
