The ruling on one who fasts for days of Ramadan without knowing their number
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the female listeners sent a message saying: When I was young and started menstruating, I did not know anything about menstruation, or that it is obligatory to break the fast in Ramadan and make it up afterwards. I used to pray during my menstruation as I did on ordinary days, and no one knew about it, not even my mother. Two years passed, then I studied and learned about it, but Satan made me forget making up the previous fasts at the beginning of menstruation. When I reached the age of twenty-four, I remembered by the power of Allah, so I tried to count the number of days, and it was twelve days. I made them up and fed a poor person for each day. I collected the food and distributed it from the local food supply. Is what I did correct? Or do you advise me to do something else?
Answer:
You have done well in that. What you did is good, and you have done well in that, along with the necessary repentance, with repentance and regret for the delay that occurred. May Allah guide you and accept it from you. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
