Expiation for Delaying the Making Up of Ramadan Fasts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Salma says that she has several days from previous Ramadans that she has not made up. Does she have to pay an expiation after she fasts these days, or does she fast without an expiation?
Answer:
If her delay in making up the fasts was due to an excuse that prevented her from doing so, and she was unable to make them up, then she owes no expiation; she only has to make up the fasts. However, if she delayed without an excuse, then she must pay an expiation in addition to making up the fasts. The expiation is feeding one poor person for each day, as an expiation for delaying without an excuse. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
