Making up a Vowed Fast When Uncertain About the Number of Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. A person says that he looked at the people for the sake of Allah until the night of the school, so Allah granted him success, and that was more than ten years ago. He says that he did not fast one day or two days, or what is required of you?
Answer:
He is confused. If he is uncertain whether it was one day, two days, or ten days, he should make it the maximum, ten days. And if he does not know, he should strive, estimate, and fast.
The presenter:
Or, may Allah have mercy on him.
