The ruling on one who forgets to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I forgot to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan, so what is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
In Ramadan or on the day of the festival? The alms given at the end of Ramadan is not paid out in Ramadan? It is paid out on the night of the festival and on the day, from the night of the festival until going out to pray the festival prayer. It is permissible to pay it out one or two days before sunset. This is permissible. As for paying it out one or two days before the end of the month, this does not suffice. We do not know what he means now, what is he saying?
The questioner:
He says: I forgot to pay the alms given at the end of Ramadan, he says in Ramadan, so what is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
Meaning, he did not pay it out on the day of the festival? He pays it out as making up a missed act of worship. It is not dropped from him; he pays it out as making up a missed act of worship.
