The ruling on one who breaks his fast for several days in Ramadan out of negligence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are questions. Perhaps we should begin with what concerns Ramadan, the month of fasting, and its rulings. A man broke his fast several days a few years ago, and several Ramadans have passed since then due to his negligence. What is required of him?
Answer:
He must make up the fasts. Making up the fasts is not waived, even if it is delayed for years. It is obligatory for him to make up the days he owes, even if they are from the past and several Ramadans have passed. Along with making up the fasts, he must feed a poor person for each day, meaning he gives charity for each day in the amount of half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is one and a half kilograms, to the poor. This is in addition to making up the fasts for the delay, along with repentance to Allah the Exalted. He must repent to Allah, he must make up the fasts, and he must feed the poor. Yes.
