The ruling on one who encounters Ramadan while owing fasts from before, and who is ill
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. A woman did not fast the year that has passed, and she was in a state of illness, taking her medication up to this day. Ramadan has arrived and she is still ill. What is required of her? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
She must make up the fasts when she recovers, unless the illness is determined to be incurable, in which case she must feed a poor person for each day. If the illness is known to be incurable, like a severe illness or that of a very old woman, she feeds a poor person for each day. But if she is expected to recover, she waits and does not feed.
The presenter:
Thank you.
The Shaykh:
She delays it until she recovers, then she makes it up. And if she is ill for a number of days, she makes them up. Yes.
