The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The elderly person who is of sound mind but unable to fast, he feeds people. Does he feed them from the first day, or does he gather it at the end of Ramadan?
The Shaykh:
It is permissible to gather them at the beginning of Ramadan or at the end of Ramadan. It is permissible to distribute them, as long as it does not contradict the ruling. Yes.
The questioner:
You.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
