Making up Ramadan: Permissible Consecutively or Separately

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Also, he asks about making up the fasts of Ramadan. Shaykh Salih says: If a person wants to make up days from Ramadan, is it permissible for him to fast one day and break the fast the next, or is he required not to break the fast until the end of the make-up period?

Answer:
Making up the fasts of Ramadan is permissible consecutively and permissible separately, because Allah the Exalted says:
an equal number of days [are to be made up]فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:184]
, and He, Glorified and Exalted is He, did not make consecutiveness a condition. However, if consecutiveness is achieved, it is better, because it involves hastening to perform the obligatory duty and clearing the debt from one's account. So if consecutiveness is achieved, it is better; and if it is not achieved, the matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
