Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: I fasted two consecutive months as expiation based on the Hijri calendar, so I fasted fifty-nine days. Is my fasting valid, or is it necessary to fast?

Answer:
My brother, why didn't you ask before? You did not see the crescent moon to base the obligation on. It is obligatory for you to fast sixty days. Sixty days to complete the month, because you did not see the crescent moon. You have not completed the crescent moon. Now you have not completed the obligation. It is obligatory for the one who does not see the crescent moon to complete the count. If it is cloudy for you, complete the count of Sha'ban to thirty days. If the crescent moon is not seen, complete the count. If you had asked before, but now you must write your question and send it to the Ifta' department so they can look into it. I am afraid that you will have to repeat the entire fasting. Yes.
