Making up the fasts of Ramadan after being delayed for years due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have two questions, if you please. Please, the first question. The first question, Shaykh, is that I went through a period of illness lasting about seven or eight years, and in every Ramadan I broke my fast for a few days. Now, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, I have recovered and healed, and I want to know the method for making up the fasts. For example, if I make up the fasts for the year 1427 or 1428, do I feed a poor person for each of the years that have passed, or do I feed a poor person just once for every day? That is the first question.
The Shaykh:
You make up the days that are upon you, and if you delayed making them up without an excuse, then along with making them up, you must feed a poor person. This is in the case of delay.
The presenter:
All right, we will limit ourselves to this question, because the phone is out of battery. All right, yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
