Fasting on the Day of Ashura for one who has missed days from Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what about one who has missed days from Ramadan.
The Shaykh:
There is a difficulty here, meaning the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fast a complete month except Ramadan. What is appropriate is that he does not fast the entire month of Muharram, but fasts most of it, that he fasts most of it, this is what aligns with the Sunnah.
The questioner:
From Ramadan, and he encountered the Day of Ashura, so does he have the right to fast it, or is it forbidden for him, and he must start by making up the missed days?
The Shaykh:
Making up the missed days is flexible, and the Day of Ashura is fleeting, so he fasts the Day of Ashura and makes up what he owes afterwards.
