Voluntary Fasting Before Making Up Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, if a person performs voluntary fasting before making up his missed days of Ramadan, what is the ruling on voluntary fasting before making up the fast?
Answer:
There is no harm in that, because the time for making up the fast is extended until there are no days remaining of the coming Ramadan except for the number of days he owes. In that case, it becomes obligatory for him to make up the fast before the second Ramadan begins. However, before that, he may delay it, because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) had days to make up, and she delayed them until there were no days remaining of the new Ramadan except for the number of days she owed, which she fasted in Sha'ban. She said: "Because of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Yes.
