Making up obligatory fasting takes precedence over voluntary fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers from Yemen, whose name is Khadim Ali, sent a message asking your Eminence. He said: “I was ill for two days during Ramadan. After Ramadan, I did not make up those days; instead, I fasted the six days of Shawwal. I want to make up the fasting that I missed after fasting the six days. What is the ruling on what I did? May Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
It is prescribed for you to make up the two days before the six. However, since you were unaware of this, you may fast them afterwards, and praise be to Allah. You owe nothing if you fast them before the next Ramadan. If you delay them until the next Ramadan, you must feed a poor person in addition to fasting: a sa’ (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each day, which is half a sa’ for the two days, to be given to some of the poor. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
