The ruling on one who embraces Islam during the day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! If a disbeliever embraces Islam during the day in Ramadan, is he ordered to make up this day or is he not ordered to?
If a disbeliever embraces Islam during the day in Ramadan, it is obligatory for him to abstain from food and drink, but it is not obligatory for him to make up the day; because at the beginning of the day he was not commanded to fast. Therefore, it is obligatory for him to abstain, but he is not required to make it up; because at the beginning he was not eligible for the obligation.
