Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person has missed days from Ramadan that he must make up, and the Day of 'Arafah comes, and he has not fasted, does he fast on the Day of 'Arafah? And likewise, the ninth and tenth of Muharram?
Answer:
No, he fasts the make-up days. He does not fast voluntarily until he has fulfilled what he owes in make-up days, because the make-up days are a debt upon him, and they are more deserving and more binding in clearing his debt than voluntary fasting. So, when he has fasted the make-up days, he may fast voluntarily, whether on 'Arafah or otherwise. Yes.
