The ruling on making up the fast of one who reached puberty and did not fast for two years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah for safety.
The questioner:
The questioner says: I reached puberty at the age of twelve and did not fast for two years. Is it obligatory for me to make up the fasts only, or do I have to give charity in addition to making them up?
The Shaykh:
He has to fast and feed people. He makes up the two years by fasting two months and feeds a poor person for each day, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, not rice or wheat, in addition to making up the fasts. That is fifteen sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) per month, which he gives to the poor, or to some of the poor. This is the making up of the fasts he left, along with repentance to Allah, regret, and not returning to it.
