The Ruling on Making Up Missed Days of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a disobedient slave who fasts one day and breaks the fast for several days. Because I have broken the fast so often, I do not know how many days I must make up.

Answer:
This man says that he previously used to break his fast on days of Ramadan because he was disobedient and lax. So we say: Praise be to Allah, the door of repentance is open; do not despair of the mercy of Allah
and despair not of relief from Allahوَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ
[Yusuf 12:87]
. Hasten to repent. If the days you left off are such that you can know them and make them up, it is obligatory for you to do so. However, if you do not know them, it is difficult for you to know them, and there are many of them, then repentance to Allah the Exalted and Mighty is sufficient. But if you know their number, it is obligatory for you to make them up. Yes.
