Postponing the making up of Ramadan fasts until winter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Badr from Riyadh says: I have fasts to make up from last Ramadan, and I postponed them until the arrival of winter to make fasting easier for me. He asks: Is there any blame on me for that?
Answer:
There is no blame on you for that, if Allah wills. Allah has made things easy for the believers, so you may postpone the fasting until winter, or until Rajab, or Sha'ban. What is obligatory for you is to make them up before the next Ramadan begins. It is obligatory for anyone who has broken fasts in Ramadan to make them up before the next Ramadan enters, whether that is in the days of winter or other days. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] It is also established from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she had fasts to make up, and she did not make them up until Sha'ban because of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days
وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
