The Ruling on Voluntary Fasting Before Making Up an Obligatory Fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: If a person begins a voluntary fast that is not obligatory to complete, and then an obligatory fast becomes due, what is the ruling if he does not convert the voluntary fast into a make-up fast? The question is: How is it that it is not permissible to fast voluntary fasts before making up what is obligatory upon him?
Answer:
If he has an obligatory fast to make up, and if he has no missed fasts to make up, he may fast voluntarily; there is no conflict in that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
