The ruling on making up missed fasts of Ramadan during the six days of Shawwal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. He says: There is a person who missed fasting some of the month of Ramadan when he was young, due to his ignorance of the obligation of fasting upon him. He made up those fasts during the six days of Shawwal. Is this make-up valid?
Answer:
If he left off fasting after reaching puberty, he must make up the fasts. However, if he left off fasting before reaching puberty, he does not have to make them up, because fasting is only a recommended practice for him during that period. So, if it was after puberty and he left off fasting, it is obligatory for him to make up the fasts. If he fasted in Shawwal with the intention of making up the missed fasts, that suffices for him. But if he fasted with the intention of the six days, it does not suffice for the make-up. Yes.
