The Ruling on Delaying the Making Up of Ramadan Fasts Without an Excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A person was negligent in making up the fasts of two Ramadans; one of them has been delayed for eight Ramadans, and the other for two. The reason was that he committed one of the things that break the fast. What is required of him? Does he fast and offer expiation, or does he just fast, or what does he do?
Answer:
Yes, fasting is necessary; making up the fasts is necessary, along with repentance to Allah the Exalted. Repentance and making up the fasts are both necessary. As for the delay, if it was due to an excuse, then he only has to make up the fasts. But if it was without an excuse, and it was merely negligence, then he must also feed a poor person for each day as expiation for the delay without an excuse, as many of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) issued a ruling to that effect. Yes.
