Question:
We return at the beginning of this episode to a message received by the program from our brother, listener Bashir Shaddad. Our brother Bashir presented some questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he has one remaining question, in which he says: What is the ruling for a person who did not fast Ramadan, then repented and returned to Allah, and began to fast? What is the ruling on the months he did not fast? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
The ruling in that matter is that he must make up what he left off, according to the majority of the scholars, along with repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) if he was praying. But if he was not praying, then the one who abandons prayer is a disbeliever, and nothing is required of him except repentance. He owes no making up of fasting or prayer; rather, he must repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and then start the matter anew.
But if he was praying, yet he was lax in fasting, then he must make it up. He is a Muslim who is disobedient; so he must repent and make up the fasts, along with feeding a poor person for each day with half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the staple food of the land, whether dates or otherwise. He gathers this and gives it to some of the poor for all the days he did not fast. And he must repent to Allah with sincere repentance, with regret for his past ugly action, and with a sincere resolve not to return to it. And Allah is the One to be sought for help. Yes.
The presenter : Allah is the One to be sought for help. May Allah reward you with good.
