Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person has missed days from Ramadan that he must make up, is it permissible for him to fast the make-up days on the Day of 'Ashura so that he is absolved of the make-up obligation and also receives the reward for fasting on 'Ashura?
Answer:
Making up missed fasts is flexible, and the Day of 'Ashura will pass, so one should fast on the Day of 'Ashura even if he has missed fasts to make up; he can make them up afterwards. Making up missed fasts is flexible, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
