Doubt regarding making up the fasts owed from Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: If a woman doubts whether she has made up the fasts she owes from Ramadan, what is required of her?
The Shaykh:
She doubts.
The questioner:
Yes, she doubts whether she has made up what she owes from Ramadan, so what is required of her?
The Shaykh:
No, no, the obligation is not discharged with doubt. Certainty is required. If she is certain that she has made up the fasts, praise be to Allah. If she is not certain, the default is that the obligation remains upon her regarding fasting, so she must fast. Unless she is afflicted with waswas (whispers of doubt). If she is afflicted with waswas, she should ignore the waswas. But if she is not afflicted with waswas and she doubts, the obligation is not discharged with doubt. Certainty is required. Yes.
