The ruling on making up fasting missed over eight years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is one of the French brothers. He says: A woman did not fast for eight years since she reached puberty, then she became righteous. What is the ruling regarding the fasting she missed?
Answer:
It is obligatory for her to make it up. It is obligatory for her to make up the fasting of Ramadan that she left off. It is obligatory for her to make it up, and to feed one poor person for every day for the delay, along with repentance to Allah the Exalted. This is because fasting in Ramadan is a pillar of Islam that does not drop. If you forgot to pray and you had several obligatory prayers that you did not pray because you did not know that prayer is obligatory, we say the prayer drops off you? No, you pray and make it up. Likewise, fasting. Fasting is like prayer; it is a pillar. Yes.
