The ruling on combining the intention to fast the Day of 'Arafah with the intention to make up a missed day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have had a question in my mind for a long time. Last year, we broke our fast for one day of Ramadan while we were traveling for 'Umrah. When the Day of Standing came, the ninth of Dhul-Hijjah, they said, "It is permissible to fast this day, which is the Ramadan day, and also the ninth." Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
No, that is not correct. Fasting the Day of 'Arafah is a separate day, and fasting it is a recommended practice (sunnah). As for making up a day of Ramadan, that is obligatory. Do not mix the two. Yes.
The questioner:
Well, what is the conclusion, Shaykh? The matter has passed.
The Shaykh:
You made up the day.
The questioner:
Yes, I made it up on that same day.
The Shaykh:
Did you intend it for Ramadan or for 'Arafah?
The questioner:
No, I asked someone. You know, we Bedouins, they say, "Just intend it for the ninth for Ramadan, and it is permissible." So I intended it for Ramadan.
The Shaykh:
If you intended it for Ramadan, it suffices for Ramadan, but you do not get the reward of fasting the Day of 'Arafah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
