Is it obligatory to make up the days of Ramadan consecutively?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman has days to make up from Ramadan. She broke her fast for six days. Is it obligatory to make them up consecutively, or can she not fast one day...?
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory to make up the days of Ramadan consecutively, nor is it obligatory to do so immediately. This is why the Mother of the Believers, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), did not make up the days she owed from Ramadan except in Sha'ban. However, it is better to hasten and make them up consecutively, because that is faster in clearing one's conscience, and so that one may catch the fasting of six days in Shawwal. Yes.
