Ruling on one who broke the fast of Ramadan for two years due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Due to an illness that afflicted me, I did not fast Ramadan for two consecutive years. What must I do?
Answer:
As long as you broke your fast for a valid legal excuse, you must make up the fasts. You must make up what you missed from the two years. If the delay until the second Ramadan was due to a valid legal excuse, then you owe nothing other than fasting to make up the missed days. However, if you delayed without an excuse, but rather out of negligence on your part, then in addition to making up the fasts, you must feed one poor person for each day, as a group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a ruling to that effect.
As for if you made up the fasts in the year before Ramadan, then you make them up without feeding. But if you delayed making up the fasts until the other Ramadan, then you must make up the fasts along with feeding half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, wheat, or rice for each day, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness.
As for the one who has an excuse, he owes nothing. If he delayed because of illness, he owes nothing other than making up the fasts; because Allah says: [al-Baqarah:184] So he only has to make up the fasts.
But the one who was negligent, and was able to make up the fasts, yet did not make them up until Ramadan arrived, must feed one poor person for each day in addition to making up the fasts, along with repentance. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]
فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَBut the one who was negligent, and was able to make up the fasts, yet did not make them up until Ramadan arrived, must feed one poor person for each day in addition to making up the fasts, along with repentance. Yes.
