Question:
A person did not fast Ramadan during his days of maturity, and after Allah guided him, he wants to make expiation. What do you advise him to do?
Answer:
If he abandoned fasting after reaching maturity, it is obligatory for him to make up the fasts, he must make up the fasting of Ramadan that he left, and he must feed one poor person for each day as expiation, unless the fasting became many years, a long period, in which case repentance is sufficient in this case, because making up long years is difficult for him, so he must repent to Allah and strive to fast in the future, and as for what has passed, Allah will forgive it. But if it is a few months or a few days that he is able to make up, it is obligatory for him to make them up and feed one poor person for each day for the delay. Yes.
