Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I intend to fast on Mondays and Thursdays of every week, and then after a period I am unable to do so due to an illness or other excuse, is it obligatory for me to make up the fasts I missed?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for you to make them up. Making up fasts is for what is obligatory, and this is a recommended practice (sunnah). If its time passes, you do not make it up. You are excused, and you are credited with your intention. If you intended but were unable to fast, you are credited with your intention, and you receive the reward for that. Yes.
