Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This is a question asking: A woman missed the entire month of Ramadan, and Ramadan was twenty-nine days. Does she make up a month of thirty days, or twenty-nine?
The questioner : Twenty-nine.
The Shaykh : Twenty-nine?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, the evidence is not the reasoning.
The questioner : The month is twenty-nine days.
The Shaykh : No, Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:184] The count is until what is mentioned regarding the month, and not [Al-Baqarah 2:184] If it is twenty-nine, then twenty-nine; and if it is thirty, then thirty. Is that clear? And what if it is thirty-one?
The questioner : That does not happen.
The Shaykh : No, we mentioned that if he travels to another country and their iftar is delayed, he fasts with them.
The questioner : ... the one who has to make up the fasts does not fast
The Shaykh : Meaning, she does not fast except twenty-nine. Okay, the time has passed, Shaykh? The time has passed.
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, and upon the mercy sent to the worlds, our master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and upon his family and all his Companions. After that, the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the book of Rituals: "If slavery, insanity, and childhood are removed during Hajj at 'Arafah..."
The Shaykh : And childhood.
The questioner :"And childhood. If slavery, insanity, and childhood are removed during Hajj at 'Arafah, and during 'Umrah before its tawaf, the obligatory act is valid. And if a child or a slave performs them, it is voluntary."
The questioner : Twenty-nine.
The Shaykh : Twenty-nine?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is the evidence?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, the evidence is not the reasoning.
The questioner : The month is twenty-nine days.
The Shaykh : No, Allah the Exalted said:
an equal number of days [are to be made up]
