Feeding the poor for missed days of Ramadan after several years have passed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A man has three sons who have kidney dialysis. Ramadan came and they were unable to fast because of this condition. He says: So their father appointed me to feed a poor person on their behalf for each day for all three, and he gave me money for this purpose. I took the money and forgot to feed them, and now fifteen years have passed. So, do I feed a poor person for that year, or for the fifteen years that have passed?
The Shaykh:
For the year in which they did not fast, you feed a poor person for each one, for each one a poor person per day, for the number of days of Ramadan. The second is the same, and the third is the same, for one year. As for if they died and did not fast after that, then this has another ruling. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And the important thing is that you carry out what you were appointed to do. And it is one year. Yes.
