Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The following message, signed by one of the listening brothers, ended with the words: "Your brother in Allah: Abdullah." He has a collection of questions, one of which says: When a person repents and Allah grants him guidance, does he have to make up the months of Ramadan that he did not fast? And if a person intentionally and deliberately breaks the fast due to the desires of the soul, is he required to do so, or is it sufficient for him to feed a poor person for each day? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
He must fast what he missed, along with repentance to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) , and feeding the poor does not suffice for him as long as he is able to fast. He must repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for what he did, and he must hasten to fast, along with feeding a poor person for each day, if he delayed the making up of the fast until another Ramadan. This is a great crime and a great evil.
But if he does not pray, he has become a disbeliever, and a disbeliever does not make up missed fasts. If he does not pray, he is a disbeliever, and a disbeliever does not make up missed fasts, according to the stronger of the two opinions of the scholars. As for if he prays but leaves off fasting, then it is necessary for him to make up the fasts, along with feeding a poor person for each day, if the making up of the fasts is delayed until another Ramadan. We ask Allah to grant us, and every Muslim, sincere repentance. Yes.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
