The Ruling on Delaying Making Up Fast Days Until After Ramadan

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says in his question: Honorable Shaykh, five years ago I was struck by an illness at the beginning of the month of Ramadan, and I was in a complete coma for the entire month of Ramadan. After this blessed month, Allah cured me of this illness, but I did not make up what I owed from the Ramadan that followed. Is it permissible for me to make up this month that I did not fast, which I did not fast due to my illness, at my current time? I have already begun making up these fasts. During this period, I have been fasting voluntary fasts and the six days of Shawwal. Is there anything on me regarding the voluntary fasts I have fasted over the past years without making up the obligatory ones? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
You must hasten to make up what you owe from Ramadan, and along with making up the fasts, you must feed one poor person for each day on account of the delay; because it is obligatory to hasten to make up the obligatory fast and to prioritize it over voluntary fasting. As for what happened to you and has passed, meaning you fasted days of voluntary fasting while you had obligatory fasts from Ramadan to make up, this is contrary to what is best and contrary to what is preferable, and there is nothing on you for that, but you must hasten to make up what you owe from Ramadan. Yes.
