The ruling on making up the fast of a person sick with cancer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Thamir says: I have a brother who is sick with cancer in his gland, and he was unable to fast in the last two Ramadans. I do not know if he will be able to fast in the coming Ramadan or not. What is obligatory for us to do regarding him in this case? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is obligatory that if the coming Ramadan arrives and he is alive and able to fast, he fasts. As for the past years in which he did not fast and is unable to make them up, he must feed one poor person for every day, the amount being half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), which is one and a half kilograms. Yes.
