Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Good evening. Good evening. Honorable Shaykh. Yes. May I ask a question? Fine. Is it permissible to fast the Day of 'Arafah while having days from Ramadan to make up? No. No.
The Shaykh : He does not fast the Day of 'Arafah while having days from Ramadan, but he fasts the Day of 'Arafah
The questioner : Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : From the days that are upon him. I tell him: fast the Day of 'Arafah, and intend it as one of the days that are upon him.
The questioner : Yes, he fasts the Day of 'Arafah and intends it as one of the days that are upon him. Yes, that is right, knowing that he broke the fast for these days because he was ill.
The Shaykh : There is no objection. There is no objection. If he wants to fast, he fasts. If he wants to fast 'Arafah, he intends it as one of the days that are upon him.
The questioner : Yes, meaning it is not permissible for him to mean that he does not count the Day of 'Arafah; he counts it as one of the days that are upon him.
The Shaykh : He intends it as one of the days that are upon him, and the grace of Allah is vast. Perhaps he was hastened twice.
The questioner : Fine, thank you.
The Shaykh : The reward of 'Arafah and the reward of making up the fasts.
The questioner : Fine, thank you. Goodbye.
The Shaykh : With peace.
