The ruling on fasting two consecutive months from the middle of the month
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, my brother was involved in a traffic accident, and a person with him died as a result. He fasted two consecutive months and started fasting from the middle of the month. Is his fast valid, or is he required to restart from the beginning of the month?
Answer:
He is required to fast sixty days; because he does not see the crescent moon. If he sees the crescent moon on the first night and fasts from the beginning of the month, he completes two months and breaks his fast. However, if he did not see the crescent moon, he fasts sixty days from the beginning of the month, or from the middle of the month, or from the end of the month. The important thing is that he fasts sixty consecutive days. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
