What is the ruling on one who did not make up the days he fasted in Ramadan before three years had passed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on one who did not make up the days he fasted in Ramadan before three years had passed? And what is the expiation for that? The listener says: Knowing that I was not praying and I was not fasting the days I fasted in Ramadan, despite having an excuse, I ask for your guidance?
The Shaykh : It is obligatory for one who owes making up Ramadan to make it up before the second Ramadan arrives, as the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), said: “I used to have fasting days from Ramadan that I could not make up until Sha'ban”. If he delays it until after the second Ramadan, then if it was for an excuse, he owes nothing except making up the fasts. If it was without an excuse, he must repent from this delay because he has committed a sin. The scholars differed on whether he is required to offer an expiation for each day along with the fasting, or whether he is not required to. The correct view is that he is not required to offer an expiation for delaying the making up of the fasts until after the second Ramadan, because there is no evidence for the obligation of an expiation. The generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] includes one who made up the fasts between the two Ramadans and one who delayed the making up of the fasts until the second Ramadan. The correct view is that he owes no expiation, and he owes nothing except making up the fasts. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. The listener, Atiq Munthir from Qatar, says that he.
