The Ruling on Making Up Missed Ramadan Fasts That Have Been Delayed for Years Due to Shyness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a woman who broke her fast in Ramadan in the first year it became obligatory for me to fast, and out of shynfulness at the time I did not disclose it, knowing that this was several years ago. What is the ruling in this case?
Answer:
The ruling is that making up the fasts is necessary, and these days that she broke remain a debt upon her, so she must make them up. Along with making them up, she must feed a poor person for each day, the amount being half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each day, because of the delay in making up the fasts. When the making up of fasts is delayed, it is expiated by feeding a poor person for each day, in addition to making up the fasts. So making up the fasts is necessary, even if a long time has passed. Yes.
