Ruling on Delaying Making Up Fasting in Ramadan for Several Years
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am Adam Jum'ah Muhammad Ahmad, of Sudanese nationality, thirty-eight years old. A few years ago, I broke my fast for the entire month of Ramadan on the doctor's orders, as I was ill. After that, I broke my fast for fifteen days in another Ramadan for other reasons. Years have passed since those days, and I have not made them up, though I have fasted since then. I want to make them up now, so what should I do? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
You must make up the fasts, along with repenting to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for the delay that occurred. So, my brother, you must seek forgiveness from Allah, repent to Him, and feel remorse for what you did. You must make up these days, and you must feed, with ... , one poor person for each day from the staple food of the country, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the staple food of the country. The meaning is: you have three things to do:
The first thing: making up the fasts and hastening to do so.
The second thing: feeding one poor person for each day, provided you are able to do so. If you are poor and unable, the feeding is dropped from you, and the fasting remains obligatory upon you.
The third thing: repenting to Allah for this delay, seeking forgiveness, and feeling remorse. And whoever repents, Allah turns to him in mercy. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for you.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
