Making up the fasting of three years left off out of ignorance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
These are questions that came from women, which are late and important. The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I am a girl who is twenty years old. In the past, I was ignorant of the religion, and three years have passed since I reached maturity without me fasting. What should I do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
You must fast it. You make it up along with repentance to Allah, and you must feed a poor person for each day if you are able to feed. If you are poor, fasting with repentance and seeking forgiveness is sufficient if you are praying. But if you are not praying, then repentance is required for that as well, so you must repent from all of it. As for if you are praying but did not fast, you must make it up, fast it, repent to Allah, and feed a poor person for each day if you are able to feed. And if you are poor and have nothing and cannot afford it, then fasting is sufficient.
