Question:
This questioner says that he had intercourse during the day in Ramadan and repented to Allah, but he cannot fast two consecutive months because he works as a goods distributor by car from dawn to night. He asks: Does he switch to feeding the poor?
Answer:
Yes, there is no feeding the poor; there is no feeding the poor. There is making up the fasts he missed. If he cannot do so at that time, he delays it to another time. The time for making up the fasts is expansive, praise be to Allah. Does he not take leave? He takes leave for the number of days he fasts? Yes.
