The ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan and delays making it up until the following Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I broke my fast for some days in Ramadan, and at that time I delayed making them up. I have started making them up now, so what is required of me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: If you made them up before the second Ramadan, then nothing is required of you except making them up, praise be to Allah. However, if you delayed them until after Ramadan, then in addition to making them up, you must feed one poor person for every day, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness. Feeding one poor person means: half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, rice, or other staple food of the country, which is approximately one and a half kilograms, along with repentance, seeking forgiveness, and fasting. If you delayed it without an excuse, such as illness or another excuse like travel, then when a person delays fasting from that year until the following Ramadan, he has committed a sin. Therefore, he must repent to Allah, make up the fasts, and feed one poor person for every day. A group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) issued a ruling to this effect, as a discretionary punishment. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
