Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a person vows to fast a month, but then finds that he is unable to fast the month, what should he do? And what is the expiation for that?
Answer:
The fast for the month remains a debt in his liability, and he delays it until he is able. When he is able, he fasts, even if it is delayed. It is a debt in his liability that he must fulfill. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
