The Ruling on Making Up Ramadan Fasts with Feeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener is Rami al-Rahimi from Tunisia, residing in Riyadh. He has four questions and says: If you would be so kind, please present them to Your Eminence, Shaykh Dr. Salih al-Fawzan (may Allah bless him). The first question says: A woman says, “I broke my fast during the month of Ramadan because I was breastfeeding, as fasting was difficult for me. I fed a poor person for each day, but I did not make up the fasts, because I continued breastfeeding my son. Immediately after, I became pregnant and broke my fast in another Ramadan while pregnant. Making up the fasts was also difficult for me. I am also currently breastfeeding. Is it obligatory for me to make up all the fasts I missed, or is feeding sufficient?”
Answer:
No, feeding is not sufficient. You must make up the fasts, as long as you are able to do so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
