The coincidence of the expiation fast with the month of Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if there is an expiation requiring the fasting of two consecutive months, and one of them coincides with fasting in the month of Rajab, what should be done?
The Shaykh:
It is not intended to fast Rajab; he fasts Rajab because he did not single out Rajab. Rather, this is a continuous fast for the expiation, so he continues and fasts Rajab. There is no harm in that. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the one who has a fast to make up.
The Shaykh:
It is disliked to single out Rajab. This person did not single it out; rather, it came about incidentally. Yes.
