Guidance for one who broke the fast in Ramadan and is unable to make it up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: I broke the fast in Ramadan for one day several years ago and did not fast it. As far as I can see, I am unable to make it up, so how do you advise me? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you are unable to make it up due to a chronic illness or old age, you must give in charity the value of one sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for that day, which is one and a half kilograms of dates, or the like of the local staple food: dates, wheat, or rice, for some poor people, along with repentance and seeking forgiveness for the delay and regret.
As for if you are able to make it up, it is obligatory for you to make it up; you fast this day and feed a poor person for the delay. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
