My mother fasted for two months of Ramadan, and that was fifteen years ago due to childbirth, and she did not know that there was a make-up fast.

The questioner : My mother fasted for two months of Ramadan, and that was fifteen years ago due to childbirth, and she did not know that there was a make-up fast. When she recently heard about the make-up fast, she became confused about her situation, and she is unable to make up the fasts because she is ill due to weakness and emaciation, and her age is approaching sixty years. Please note that she has been fasting the six days of Shawwal voluntarily for the sake of Allah for seven years. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good, what is required of her? We are prepared for whatever is required of her, and we offer you our sincere thanks.

Please hurry with the response because my mother is confused about her situation. We say, O brother Abdullah al-Harithi, your previous letters were broadcast, and the first was presented to His Eminence Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen and the second to His Eminence Shaykh Saleh al-Ali al-Nasser, but perhaps you did not hear the radio. Here is the answer to your letter from Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen?

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. This woman who missed fasting for two months of Ramadan must make up the fasts if she is able, even if it is one day after another in the days of winter. If she is unable to do this, and the inability is continuous and not expected to end, then she must feed one poor person for every day.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And by that, her obligation is discharged.

The questioner : This is a letter from Abu Zayd Mansur, in which he says.
