Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it obligatory to make up the missed days of Ramadan separately, or is it obligatory to make them up consecutively?
The Shaykh : Yes. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets and the Imam of the Pious, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. It is not obligatory to make up the missed days of Ramadan separately, nor is it obligatory to make them up consecutively; the person has the choice. However, if there remains in the coming month of Sha'ban a period equal to the number of days he owes from Ramadan, then it is obligatory to make them up consecutively, because it is not permissible to delay making up the missed days of Ramadan until the next Ramadan. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
