The ruling on one who has reached the second Ramadan while owing a fast to make up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, may Allah preserve you and protect you. This person is asking about the one who reaches the second Ramadan without having made up his missed fasts. Does he have to feed people? And if he is unable to feed them, what is the solution? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If he owes a fast to make up from the previous Ramadan, he should hasten to make it up before the new Ramadan begins. It is not permissible for him to delay it without an excuse. However, if he is excused and his excuse continues until the second Ramadan arrives and his excuse has not yet ended, there is no harm in postponing the make-up fast until after Ramadan, and he is excused for doing so. But if he delays the make-up fast until a month of Ramadan passes without an excuse, he must make it up after Ramadan, and he must feed one poor person for each day as expiation for the delay, in the amount of one and a half kilograms of food for each day. Good. Expiation for delaying without an excuse.
As for if he delayed it for an excuse until the new Ramadan arrived, he postpones it and makes it up after Ramadan whenever he is able. He owes nothing other than the make-up fast. Yes.
