Postponing the making up of the expiation for intercourse during Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Badr from Jeddah says: I owe the expiation for intercourse in the blessed month of Ramadan last year, and this blessed month may come in this year, but I will not be able to fast due to my personal circumstances, especially my health. So what is required of me if I postpone it until after Ramadan?
Answer:
There is no harm; it is permissible for you to postpone it until after Ramadan, because it remains a debt upon you. As long as you are able to make up the fast, you can fast the expiation, even after a period of time; you postpone it, and it remains a debt upon you. However, if you are unable to fast, neither currently nor in the future, then you must feed sixty poor people. He, Glorious and Majestic, said:[Al-Mujadila 58:4]. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
